Description

Localization is a key point for application adoption. At Cozy Cloud, we use Polyglot, but developers still have to deal with stuff like getting user's locale from database. The LocalizationManager will help you manage localization on the server.

It's simple as an americano plugin.

Usage

Initialization

Americano plugin

In server/config.{js|coffee}:

    plugins: [
        'cozy-localization-manager'
        'cozydb'
    ]

Manually

Before the server start, run:

manager = require('cozy-localization-manager').getInstance()
options =
    localePath: 'path/to/your/locales/folder'
manager.initialize options, (err) ->
    manager.t('translate all the things !')

Translation

Whenever you need to translate something:

manager = require('cozy-localization-manager').getInstance()
manager.t('localization key')

That's it!

Locales path

If you use the library as an americano plugin, you need to have your locale files in server/locales/. Each file must match the locale name. For instance: en.json, fr.json, de.json.

Polyglot

You can find everything about Polyglot (locales format, options) in their documentation.

Development

Clone this repository, install dependencies and run server (it requires Node.js)

git clone git://github.com/cozy-labs/cozy-localization-manager.git
cd cozy-localization-manager
npm install
npm run dev
