TL;DR: It's an i18n package for Node.js, with support to plurals and genders
$ npm install i18node var I18Node = require('i18node');
var options = {
locales: ['en', 'pt'],
defaultLocale: 'en',
defaultGender: 'masc',
path: './locales'
};
var i18n = new I18Node(options);
i18n.i18n('person'); //person
i18n.i18n('person', 2); //couple
i18n.i18n('person', 3); //people
i18n.i18n('person', { num: 2 }); //couple
i18n.i18n('hello world', { num: 2, greeting: 'hi'}); //hi worlds
i18n.i18n('hello world', { greeting: 'olá', locale: 'pt'}); //olá mundo
i18n.i18n('nidorino', { num: 2 }); //nidorinos
i18n.i18n('nidorino', { gender: 'masc' }); //nidorino
i18n.i18n('nidorino', { num: 2, gender: 'fem' }); //nidorinas
i18n.i18n('none', { gender: 'neutral', locale: 'pt' }); //nenhumAnd let's say that, inside ./locales folder we have the files:
