localise-text

Install

To install using NPM: npm i -S localise-text

How to use:

1. Create a folder in the same directory as the file using the package.
2. To initialise the localise-text package,

const Localiser = require('localise-text');
let l = new Localiser(<location of the languages folder>);
l.init({<Settings (See bottom of file)>});

3. To get the text from the language ID,

l.translate("<lang_id>");

4. To change the language id,

l.setNewLanguage("<new language id>");

Format of Language file

The format of the language file is simply just a JSON Object, and is probably the simplest thing you'll ever see.

To make a language file, first name it the locale alias, such as en_US or nl, and give it the .json extension.

To assign text to values, do the following:

{
	"localisation_id": "Text to display!",
	"buttons.home_button": "Home",
	"buttons.send_email": "Send Email!"
}

Settings

• language : The language ID
• leaveIDIfNotExist : Whether or not to show the language ID if the matching text could not be found.
