Helpers

• t(phrase:String, [locale:String], [options:Object]): Translates a single phrase and adds it to locales if unknown. It returns translated parsed and substituted string.

Example:

t('hello');
t('hello', { name: 'John' });

t('hello', 'sw');
t('hello', 'sw', { name: 'John' });

• n(phrase:String, [locale:String|count:Number], count:Number): Plurals translation of a single phrase. Singular and plural forms will get added to locales if unknown. Returns translated parsed and substituted string based on last count parameter.

Example:

n('You have %s message', 1);
n('You have %s message', 10);

n('You have %s message', 'sw', 1);
n('You have %s message', 'sw', 10);
