I18n node
Super simple i18n library with express middleware and Mustache syntax.
Installation
$ npm install i18n-node
Features
- Based on Mustache syntax (full partials support)
- Reads translations from file system
- Simple
- Automatically detects locale
- Easy translation method
- Post processors
Why
We wanted a simple i18n library built on top of the logic-less template syntax provided by Mustache. Most libraries use sprintf, which is awesome, but it requires a specific order of data, which isn't desirable in our case.
Locales
All locales must conform to the locale format ll_CC
, where ll is a two-letter language code, and CC is a two-letter country code. For instance, en_US represents U.S. English.
Examples
An example of a locale file could be:
var I18n = ;var i18n = directory: __dirname + '/locales/';i18n; // => "Hello guest!"
Using Middleware
var I18n = ;var express = ;var app = ;var i18n = directory: __dirname + '/locales/'; app; app;
Future Stuff
- Singular/plural support
- Number formatting across locales taking imperial countries into account
- Unit tests!
