Initialization

(function(){
  var translations = {
    en:{
      string: 'test string',
      section:{
        substring: 'test substring'
      }
      string_with_values: 'string with value1: %{value1} and value2: %{value2}'
      string_with_count: {
        elements: {
          zero: '%{count} elements',
          one: '%{count} element',
          other: '%{count} elements'
        }
      },
    },
    ...
  }
  locale.init('en', translations);
  window.t = locale.t;
})();

Basic usage

console.log(t('string'));
// => test string
console.log(t('section.substring'));
// => test substring

Interpolate

console.log(t('string_with_values', {value1: 'first value', value2: 'second value'}));
// => string with value1: first value and value2: second value

Pluralization

console.log(t('string_with_count.elements', {count: 0}));
// => 0 elements
console.log(t('string_with_count.elements', {count: 1}));
// => 1 element

Options

singleLocale

Sometimes you may need only one locale.

For example if you build on server side dynamicly your translation based on his current locale zone and then send it to client.

var translations = {
     first: 'First string',
     second: 'Second string',
    };
var options = {
 singleLocale: true
}
// We still need set first parameter for determining pluralization logic
locale.init('en', translations, options);    


console.log(locale.t('first'));
// => First string

Helpers

getCurrent

Shows object with current translation

var translations = {
     en: {
      first: 'First string',
      second: 'Second string',
     },
     ru: {
      first: 'Первая строка',
      second: 'Вторая строка',
     }
    };
    
locale.init('en', translations);    

console.log(locale.getCurrent());
// => 
// {
//  first: 'First string',
//  second: 'Second string'
// }
