If you would like to see more examples other than the ones on gengojs.com then check out the tests there's 127+ possible ways to gengo!

###Coming soon

• Updated Japanese docs.

###Supported locales

The list is huge! See the map file for a list of locales.

###Supported file extensions:

• json

{
  ...
}

• js (modulized json)

module.exports = {
  //...
}

###Tested environmnents

• Elementary OS (Ubuntu based distro and mainly used for developing gengo)
• Windows 10 (works great but make sure to use nodejs's path.normalize('/path/to/locales') for simplicity)

###Sails.js setup

See sails/(ejs or jade)/config/http.js.

For some reason, I am not able to use '__' like before but it will work if you change the global variable for gengo to something simple of your choice. The examples have their global variables set to '__g'

Update

I didn't realize it till now but gengo must be set in a certain order for '__' to work. I've created a gist so that you can just copy and paste it into yourSailsApp/config/. Therefore there is no need to mess with sail's built in i18n or its locales. This will work on all platforms (linux, mac, windows)

###Recent Changes For previous notes on changes, see CHANGELOG.md

0.3.48

• Fixed and updated readme (missing changes from last publish)
• Added an override option for directory's path. You can now pass an object with a path key which gengo will not append a root to the given path. This is useful in cases where for some reason the root points to a /bin folder (something that happened to me in Windows).

//example
  gengo.config({
    directory: {
    path: __dirname + '/locales'
  }
  });

0.3.49

• Fixed missing root for directory. Apologies if 3.48 affected you.
• All paths are normalized. This will allow node to change the paths from / to \\ on windows. Essentially making gengo cross platform.

0.3.50

• Fixed tests for windows.
• Changed gengojs's description.

0.3.51

• Updated readme
• Fixed weird log/debug (cout) when loading locales.
• Updated node modules.

###Notes

• Cache - gengo does cache but will replace the cached object if changes have occurred.

###Message from the author

I want to thank those who tried or are actually are using gengo. Gengo was a learning curve but I know that this is just the beginning. As mentioned before, gengo still has room for improvement. I think better can be done but it's completely impossible without any feeback or contribution. If you would like to contribute, give feedback, or want to know how gengo works the please feel free to give me a holler at @iwatakeshi. Again thanks! - iwatakeshi
