Simple module to localize the React interface using the same syntax used in the ReactNativeLocalization module.
The library uses the current interface language, then it loads and displays the strings matching the current interface locale or the default language (the first one if a match is not found) if a specific localization can't be found.
It's possible to force a language different from the interface one.
##Installation
npm install --save react-localization
In the React class that you want to localize require the library and define the strings object passing to the constructor a simple object containing a language key (i.e. en, it, fr..) and then a list of key-value pairs with the needed localized strings.
\\ES6modulesyntaximportLocalizedStringsfrom'react-localization';letstrings=newLocalizedStrings({en:{how:"How do you want your egg today?",boiledEgg:"Boiled egg",softBoiledEgg:"Soft-boiled egg",choice:"How to choose the egg"},it: {how:"Come vuoi il tuo uovo oggi?",boiledEgg:"Uovo sodo",softBoiledEgg:"Uovo alla coque",choice:"Come scegliere l'uovo"}});Then use the strings object literal directly in the render method accessing the key of the localized string.
<Textstyle={styles.title}>{strings.how}</Text>- setLanguage(languageCode) - to force manually a particular language
- getLanguage() - to get the current displayed language
- getInterfaceLanguage() - to get the current device interface language
- formatString() - to format the passed string replacing its placeholders with the other arguments strings
- setContent(props) - to dynamically load another set of strings
en:{bread:"bread",butter:"butter",question:"I'd like {0} and {1}, or just {0}"}...strings.formatString(strings.question,strings.bread,strings.butter)Beware: do not define a string key as formatString!
- getAvailableLanguages() - to get an array of the languages passed in the constructor
To force a particular language use something like this:
_onSetLanguageToItalian(){strings.setLanguage('it');this.setState({});}Feel free to contact me on Twitter or open an issue.
