@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>

angular-translate is another popular library for AngularJS (1.x) that provides i18n support. It allows you to define translations in JSON files and switch between languages dynamically. While it is not compatible with Angular (2+), it offers similar functionalities for AngularJS applications.

i18next

i18next is a powerful internationalization framework for JavaScript applications, including Angular. It provides a wide range of features for managing translations, including support for pluralization, context, and interpolation.
