Internationalization localization package

Package Exports

  • i18n-nodejs

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (i18n-nodejs) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

i18n-nodejs

I18n module for node, out of frustration with over complicated modules for translation & localization I created this module with simplicity in mind.

Install

npm install i18n-nodejs --save

Usage

var config = {
    "lang": "ar",
    "langFile": "./../../locale.json"//relative path to index.js file of i18n-nodejs module
}
//init internationalization / localization class
var i18n = require('i18n-nodejs')(config.lang, config.langFile);
console.log(i18n.__('Welcome')); // output => 'اهلا'

Languages file

langFile is JSON file have the text that you need to translate as key and the value is object its key is language abbreviation and the value is the translated text.

{
    "Welcome": {
        "ar": "مرحبا",
        "fr": "Bienvenue"
    },
    "Looking for user": {
        "ar": "نبحث الان عن مستخدم اخر"
    },
    "You have disconnected.": {
        "ar": "تم قطع الاتصال."
    },
    "Chat": {
        "ar": "شات"
    }
}

Find the translation

The module will try to find the translation using the language abbreviation if could not find it will return the original text.

variables

If the text has variable that need to be translated you should add the the text like {{name}} and you need to pass the translated value of that variable as second arg into the __() function.

//Language file
{
    "Welcome {{name}}": {
        "ar": "مرحبا {{name}}"
    },
    "eslam": {
        "ar": "اسلام"
    }
}
//index.js file
var config = {
    "lang": "ar",
    "langFile": "./../../locale.json"//relative path to index.js file of i18n-nodejs module
}
//init internationalization / localization class
var i18n = require('i18n-nodejs')(config.lang, config.langFile);
console.log(i18n.__("Welcome {{name}}", {name: "اسلام"}));
// output => 'مرحبا اسلام'

If you do not want to write the tranlation directly in your code (wich you should not do) you should add the value and its translation the langauage file and use it like that

console.log(i18n.__("Welcome {{name}}", {name: i18n.__("eslam")}));
// output => 'مرحبا اسلام'
