fgrandel/meteor-i18n

Meteor Internationalization (i18n) Library

Installation

The package can be installed with Meteorite.

Type inside your application directory:

$ mrt add i18n

Usage

To add messages do:

Meteor.i18nMessages.someNamespace = {
  optionalSubNamespace: {  // You can have as many (sub-)sub-namespaces as you like.
    yourMessage: {
      en: {
        US: 'Your {{message}} in American English', // Use {{}} to mark placeholders.
        GB: 'Your {{message}} in British English'
      },
      de: 'Your {{message}} in German'  // Territory is optional
    },
    anUntranslatedMessage: 'Your untranslated message' // If you don't set a language the same message will be returned for all languages.
  }
};

To set the current locale do:

Meteor.setLocale('en_US');

and to get the current locale do:

Meteor.getLocale(); // en_US

The locale is reactive and also stored in the localStorage (_TranslatorService.locale) on the client in order to resist a page reload.

To translate a message from within your code simply call:

// A message with placeholder
var translatedMessage = __('someNamespace.optionalSubNamespace.yourMessage', {message: 'some placeholder content'});

// A message without placeholder
var anotherMessage = __('someNamespace.optionalSubNamespace.anUntranslatedMessage');
