Combatting Alert Fatigue by Prioritizing Malicious Intent
In 2023, data breaches surged 78% from zero-day and supply chain attacks, but developers are still buried under alerts that are unable to prevent these threats.
Simple, standards-based localization. Just one T
away.
Just wrap your user-facing strings in T
. Don't worry about IDs.
// Import T as a singleton
import {T} from "t-i18n"
T("Hello world")
Extract the strings from your code:
extract-strings --outfile=messages.en.json ./src/**/*.ts
Translate the JSON files:
// messages.es.json
{
"Hello-world": "Hola mundo"
}
Then load the translations, pass them to T
and set the locale.
T.setup({
locale: "es",
messages: {
en: englishJSON,
es: spanishJSON
}
})
And that's it. You're localized.
Formatting is provided courtesy of the Intl API built into modern browsers.
// Get a localized, formatted date
T.date(Date.now(), "short")
// Or a number
T.number(5, "currency")
Formatters cache themselves automatically, so you don't have to.
Basic values are easy to replace.
// "First name: Wendy"
T("First name: {userName}", { userName: "Wendy"})
Non-string values (like React components) can be interpolated using an XML syntax.
// ["There's a ", <button>button</button>, " in my sentence!"]
T.$(
"There's a <myButton /> in my {text}!",
{
myButton: () => <button>button</button>,
text: "sentence",
}
)
If your components have string children, you can translate them inline.
// [
// <a href={"/user/" + user.uuid}>Visit your <strong>profile</strong></a>,
// " to change your profile picture."
// ]
T.$(
"<link>Visit your <strong>profile</strong></link> to change your profile picture.",
{
link: (...children) => <a href={"/user/" + user.uuid}>{...children}</a>,
strong: (...children) => <strong>{...children}</strong>,
}
)
To get locale-aware pluralization, you should precompile your translations using an ICU-compliant tool. Then pass the compiled messages to T.setup
instead of strings.
// Pluralization with ICU syntax
T("You have { plural, numCats, =0 {0 cats} other {# cats} }", {numCats: 4})
