babelfish
Straightforward library for translations and i18n
Install
You can get it on npm.
npm install @grvcoelho/babelfish --save
If you're not into package management, just download a ZIP file.
Setup
First, you need to import it or require it:
import Babelfish from 'babelfish';Then, you need to instantiate it and passing a dictionary object optionally:
let babelfish = new Babelfish({
pt: {
'APPLE': 'maçã'
},
en: {
'APPLE': 'apple'
}
});Usage
Adding dictionaries:
babelfish.addDictionary('fr', {
'APPLE': 'pomme'
});Using dictionaries and translating:
babelfish.useDictionary('pt');
babelfish.translate('APPLE'); // "maçã"You can also use functions as the translations:
babelfish.addDictionary('fr', {
'APPLE': function() {
return 'pomme' + '!';
}
});
babelfish.useDictionary('fr');
babelfish.translate('APPLE'); // "pomme!"You can handle pluralisation by passing an array as the translations, and passing a second argument to the .translate() method.
babelfish.addDictionary('pt', {
'APPLE': [
'Sem maçãs',
'1 maçã',
'%s maçãs'
]
});
babelfish.useDictionary('pt');
babelfish.translate('APPLE'); // if no count is passed, 1 is the default. "1 maçã"
babelfish.translate('APPLE', 0); // "Sem maçãs"
babelfish.translate('APPLE', 1); // "1 maçã"
babelfish.translate('APPLE', 2); // "2 maçãs"
babelfish.translate('APPLE', 17); // "17 maçãs"License
