What is node-gettext?

node-gettext is a JavaScript library that provides internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) functionalities. It allows developers to manage translations and localize their applications by using GNU gettext style .po and .mo files.

What are node-gettext's main functionalities?

Loading Translations

This feature allows you to load translation files into the node-gettext instance. The example demonstrates how to read a .po file and add it to the gettext instance under a specific domain.

const Gettext = require('node-gettext');
const fs = require('fs');
const gt = new Gettext();
const translations = fs.readFileSync('path/to/your/translation/file.po');
gt.addTextdomain('your_domain', translations);

Translating Strings

This feature allows you to translate strings using the loaded translations. The example shows how to translate the string 'Hello, world!' using the gettext instance.

const translatedString = gt.gettext('Hello, world!');
console.log(translatedString);

Setting Locale

This feature allows you to set the locale for translations. The example demonstrates how to set the locale to Spanish ('es') and then translate the string 'Hello, world!'.

gt.setLocale('es');
const translatedString = gt.gettext('Hello, world!');
console.log(translatedString);

Plural Forms

This feature allows you to handle plural forms in translations. The example shows how to translate singular and plural forms of a string based on the count.

const singular = gt.ngettext('%d apple', '%d apples', 1);
const plural = gt.ngettext('%d apple', '%d apples', 2);
console.log(singular);
console.log(plural);
