custom-translate

custom-translate

custom-translate is a simple module for translating certain words or letters in a string with other words or letters you provide. Usage is simple:

wordTrans

const translator = require('custom-translate');

const text = 'I have a cow that goes moo.';
const dictionary = {
	"cow": "cat",
	"moo": "meow"
};

translator.wordTrans(text, dictionary);

Output will be: I have a cat that goes meow.

wordTrans automatically ignores casing, all instances of the word, regardless of case, will be replaced.

letterTrans

const translator = require('custom-translate');

const text = 'I like cheese.';
const dictionary = {
	"c": "!",
	"I": "S"
};

translator.letterTrans(text, dictionary);

Output will be: S like !heese

Unlike wordTrans, letterTrans does not ignore casing by default.

You can also specify what to join the string back together with. This defaults to '' for letterTrans and ' ' for wordTrans.

translator.letterTrans(text, dictionary, ' ');
translator.wordTrans(text, dictionary, ', ');
