Package Exports

node-gettext

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 (node-gettext) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

node-gettext

node-gettext is a Node.JS module to use .MO files.

Installation

npm install node-gettext

Quirks

node-gettext currently messes a bit with Buffer an Number prototypes (adds some non-enumerable helpers)

Usage

Create a new Gettext object

var Gettext = require("node-gettext");

var gt = new Gettext();

Add a language - addTextdomain(domain, file)

Language data needs to be file contents in the Buffer format

addTextdomain(domain, file_contents)

var file_contents = fs.readFileSync("et.mo");
gt.addTextdomain("et", file_contents);

The first language added will become the default language for Gettext functions.

Change default language - textdomain(domain)

textdomain(domain)

gt.textdomain("et");

Load a string from default langauge file

gettext(msgid)

var greeting = gt.gettext("Hello!");

Load a string from a specific langauge file

dgettext(domain, msgid)

var greeting = gt.dgettext("et", "Hello!");

Load a plural string from default langauge file

ngettext(msgid, msgid_plural, count)

gt.ngettext("%d Comment", "%d Comments", 10);

Load a plural string from a specific language file

dngettext(domain, msgid, msgid_plural, count)

gt.dngettext("et", "%d Comment", "%d Comments", 10)

Load a string of a specific context

pgettext(msgctxt, msgid)

gt.pgettext("menu items", "File");

Load a string of a specific context from specific language file

dpgettext(domain, msgctxt, msgid)

gt.dpgettext("et", "menu items", "File");

Load a plural string of a specific context

npgettext(msgctxt, msgid, msgid_plural, count)

gt.npgettext("menu items", "%d Recent File", "%d Recent Files", 3);

Load a plural string of a specific context from specific language file

dnpgettext(domain, msgctxt, msgid, msgid_plural, count)

gt.dnpgettext("et", "menu items", "%d Recent File", "%d Recent Files", 3);
