@angular/localize

What is @angular/localize?

@angular/localize is an Angular package that provides localization support for Angular applications. It allows developers to easily translate their applications into different languages and manage translations efficiently.

What are @angular/localize's main functionalities?

Extracting Translatable Strings

This command extracts translatable strings from your Angular application and generates a translation file (e.g., messages.xlf). This file can then be used to provide translations for different languages.

ng extract-i18n

Translating Application

This command serves the application using a specific translation file (e.g., French). The application will display the translated strings based on the provided translation file.

ng serve --configuration=fr

Marking Strings for Translation

This code snippet shows how to mark a string for translation using the `i18n` attribute. The string 'Hello, world!' will be extracted and can be translated into different languages.

<p i18n>Hello, world!</p>
