i18n Tagged Template Literals

Overview

This template literal tag adds support for i18n and l10n (translation and internationalization) to your JavaScript project. It provides the following benefits:

• Very small footprint
• Powerful ES2015 standard template literal syntax
• Internationalization based on ECMA-402 standard Intl browser API
• JSON Schema powered translations
• Tools that can be integrated into your build pipeline and IDE

Features

• Translate and internationalize your JavaScript project
• Translate your JavaScript library at buildtime
• Generate a schema of all i18n tagged template literals in your project for easy JSON based translations

Compatibility

This library is using the ECMAScript Internationalization API. ES Internationalization API is implemented in all modern Browsers. For node.js projects you can use Andy Earnshaw's excellent Intl.js polyfill:

• Intl Browser Support
• Intl Polyfill
