Angular localization

An Angular library to translate messages, dates and numbers

This library is for localization of Angular 2+ apps written in TypeScript, ES6 or ES5. It allows, in addition to translation, to localize numbers and dates of your app, adding language code, country code, currency code, timezone and optionally script code, numbering system and calendar, through Internationalization API. It also implements the validation of numbers by locales.

Sample app built with Angular CLI & Material, and its source code.

• Direct & Asynchronous loading of translation data
• Available providers for Asynchronous loading:
  • Static (json files)
  • WebAPI (json format)
  • Fallback
  • Custom
• Caching of the http requests
• Composed languages (e.g. languageCode-countryCode)
• Language, Default locale & Currency through ISO codes
• Timezone through IANA time zone
• Cookies, Session & Local Storage, or custom storage (e.g. for using with Ionic Storage) available for storing the ISO codes
• Intl API to localize dates & numbers
• Pure pipes & Directives to get the translation
• Decorators or class inheritance for the ISO codes used by the pure pipes
• Html tags in translations
• Parameters in translations
• Composed keys in translations (nested objects)
• Directives can dynamically change parameters and expressions values as the pipes
• Directives can translate also attributes
• Directives work also with complex UI components, like Material or Ionic
• Methods to translate in component class

• Support for lazy loading
• Collator for sorting and filtering a list by locales

Installing

You can add angular-l10n to your project using npm:

npm install angular-l10n --save 

To install a pre-release package:

npm install --save angular-l10n@next

Loading

Using SystemJS configuration

System.config({
    map: {
        'angular-l10n': 'node_modules/angular-l10n/bundles/angular-l10n.umd.js'
    }
});

Angular CLI

No need to set up anything, just import it in your code.

Rollup or webpack

No need to set up anything, just import it in your code.

Plain JavaScript

If you build apps in Angular using ES5, you can include the umd bundle in your index.html:

<script src="node_modules/angular-l10n/bundles/angular-l10n.umd.js"></script>

and use global ng.l10n namespace.

AoT compilation, Server Side Rendering & strict

This library is compatible with AoT compilation & Server Side Rendering. It also supports the strict TypeScript compiler option.

Note that this library is for translation at runtime, and not for translation during the building process: so we recommend using the Angular i18n native solution for SSR.
