i18n-stack

Stack of connect middleware for language/locale detection and translation.

• detectLanguage - parse and detect browser language preference
• overwriteLanguage - overwrite language selection with query param and/or cookie
• gettext - insert simple gettext implementation in response

Also exposes parseAcceptLanguage - in case if you need parsed form of Accept-Language header for some other reason than language selection.

If you don't need this exact stack all of its components can be used separately.

Install

$ npm install --save i18n-stack

Usage

var app = require('express');

var locale = {
  supportedLanguages: ['de', 'fr', 'pl', 'en-GB', 'en-US'],
  defaultLanguage: 'en',
  gettextAlias: '_'
};

var i18n = require('i18n-stack');

app.use(i18n.detectLanguage(locale));
app.use(i18n.gettext(locale));
