patchwork-translations

Locale data for Patchwork and Patchkit, using polyglot.

This module is a singleton so that if multiple modules require it, setting the locale in one will set it for all of them. Also, it uses moment as a singleton, so if you are using moment, make sure that you require the same instance of moment as patchwork-translations does.

Example

var t = require('patchwork-translations')

// translate a string
t('Patchwork') // -> "Patchwork"

// change the locale
t.setLocale('eo')

// iterate through the locale data
for (var locale in t.locales) {
  var phrases = t.locales[locale]
  ...
}

Notes

The JSON data is organized roughly so that each patchkit module has its own. section/group.

Contributing

Copy locales/en.js to a new file for your locale, and then replace all the strings on the right with localized ones. If some phrases are unclear and you need more context, post about it in Patchwork. If you find something that can't be accurately translated given the way the phrases are structured, let us know and we can try to fix it. Add your new locale file to locales/index.js along with a require statement for its moment locale data.

Known Issues

Some sentences have HTML elements in them so they are split into multiple phrases, in such a way that may not be desirable in some langauges. e.g. "Welcome to " / "Patchwork".

Maintaining

After updating this repo, manually copy changes to the string loading.LoadingError into Patchwork's ui/loading.js. TODO: automate this
