i18n javascript library

Developed to use the gettext's pattern function _ to make ease the po file generation by xgettext.

Usage

Use the i18n function to register all translated texts in the main dictionary:

i18n({
    'key' : 'value',
    'text_key' : 'text in one language',
    ...
});

To get the translated text, use _ function:

document.getElementById('edit-link').innerHTML = _('Edit something');

Pluralize

A helper to get the right text in quantities issues. Ex:

var qty = document.querySelectorAll('#client-list li').length;

var txt = pluralize({
	'0' : _('The client list is empty'),
	'1' : _('We only have one client'),
	'2' : _('We have two clients'),
	'7' : _('Seven! We have seven clients!'),
	'other' : _('WoW! We have %d clients!')
}, qty);

The first parameter is an object which can contain:

  • An specific number (e.g.: '0', '1', '2', etc)
  • The string 'one'. Alias for '1'.
  • The string 'other'. The default choice.

obs: The first parameter must have the '0' and the 'other' properties.

The wildcard '%d' is defined in i18n.wildcard property.
