A translation library for NodeJS that wraps node-polyglot
To build a local version for use or development:
git clone git@github.com:thestonefox/node-translate.git
cd node-translate
npm install
Installing as a node module:
npm install node-translate --save
Look at the example.js file to see a simple example of the library.
Run it with npm start
For more examples of the format of the locale files, look in ./locales/
module.exports = {
"title": "Hello, World"
}
Create a new instance of the i18n library.
var i18n = require('node-translate');
Require the relevant locale files in a associative array with the key being the name of the locale and the value being the output of the respective locale file.
i18n.requireLocales({
'en-gb': require('./locales/en-gb'),
'fr': require('./locales/fr')
});
Set the initial locale to use by providing the locale name. The first specified required locale is used as the current locale by default.
i18n.setLocale('en-gb');
Now simply call the translation method with the key to translate.
i18n.t('title');
The t method is compatible with polyglot so takes an optional second parameter for parsing variables into the translation string.
i18n.t('title', {name: "string"})
Chaining setters is also permitted.
i18n.requireLocales({'de': require('./locales/de')}).setLocale('de');
To run the Jest tests just type:
npm test
