Usage

Initiate the plugin in a Vue App

import Vue from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
import { tx } from '@transifex/native';
import { TransifexVue } from '@transifex/vue2';

tx.init({
  token: '<token>',
});

}).$mount('#app');

T Component

<template>
  <div>
    <T _str="Hello world" />
    <T _str="Hello {username}" :username="user" />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    name: 'App',
    data() {
      return {
        user: 'John'
      };
    },
  }
</script>

Available optional props:

| Prop | Type | Description | |------------|--------|---------------------------------------------| | _context | String | String context, affects key generation | | _key | String | Custom string key | | _comment | String | Developer comment | | _charlimit | Number | Character limit instruction for translators | | _tags | String | Comma separated list of tags |

UT Component

<template>
  <div>
      <UT _str="Hello <b>{username}</b>" :username="user" />
      <p>
        <UT _str="Hello <b>{username}</b>" :username="user" _inline="true" />
      </p>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    name: 'App',
    data() {
      return {
        user: 'John'
      };
    },
  }
</script>

UT has the same behaviour as T, but renders source string as HTML inside a div tag.

Available optional props: All the options of T plus:

| Prop | Type | Description | |---------|---------|-------------------------------------------------| | _inline | Boolean | Wrap translation in span |

$t template function or this.t alias for scripts

Makes the current component re-render when a language change is detected and returns a t-function you can use to translate strings programmatically.

You will most likely prefer to use the T or UT components over this, unless for some reason you want to have the translation output in a variable for manipulation.

<template>
  <div>
    {{$t('Hello world').toLowerCase()}}
    {{hellofromscript}}
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    name: 'App',
    computed: {
      hellofromscript: function() { return this.t('Hello world').toLowerCase() },
    },
  }
</script>

LanguagePicker component

Renders a <select> tag that displays supported languages and switches the application's selected language on change.

<template>
  <div>
    <T _str="This is a translatable message" />
    <LanguagePicker />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { LanguagePicker } from '@transifex/vue2';
  export default {
    name: 'App',
    components: {
      LanguagePicker,
    }
  }
</script>

Accepts properties:

• className: The CSS class that will be applied to the <select> tag.
