# sciter i18n
A translation engine for [sciter.js](https://sciter.com/) on top of [i18next](https://www.i18next.com/).
*IMPORTANT NOTE* From 4.4.8.14, sciter.js offers [native translation support](https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/blob/main/docs/md/reactor/JSX-i18n.md).
## demo
- git clone the repository
- install packages `npm install`
- install latest sciter sdk `npm run install-sdk`
- start the demo `npm run scapp`
## demo requirements
- A recent version of Node.js `node` (tested with 16 LTS) and its package manager `npm`.
- On Windows [download](https://nodejs.dev/download/) and run the installer
- On Linux check the [installation guide](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-20-04#option-2-%E2%80%94-installing-node-js-with-apt-using-a-nodesource-ppa)
## add to your project
### using npm
- install package `npm install sciter-i18n`
### copy source
- add the `src` dir to your project
- in ``
```js
// import from npm package
import I18n from "node_modules/sciter-i18n/src/i18n.js";
// import from src dir
import I18n from "src/i18n.js";
document.on("ready", function() {
const locale = "fr";
const file = URL.toPath(__DIR__ + `locales/${locale}.json`);
const config = {
// i18n logging
logging: true,
// debug i18next
debug: true,
};
// initialize translation engine
if (I18n.init(locale, file, config)) {
console.log("i18n init - OK");
// translate window
I18n.i18n(document);
}
});
```
- create translation file `locales\fr.json`
```json
{
"translation": {
"key1": "test du moteur i18n"
}
}
```
- then in the html code add attribute `data-i18n` to all elements you want translated. If the `data-i18n` attribute value is set then it will be used as the translation key.
```html
<h1 data-i18n="key1">i18n engine test</h1>
```
- otherwise the element's `innerText` will be the key
```html
<h1 data-i18n>h1</h1>
```
## translate text in code
```js
// with 2 arguments, first serves as key, second as default value (better option)
let message = I18n.m("no-update", "Widget could not be updated.");
// with a single argument, it's both the key and the default value
let message = I18n.m("Widget could not be updated.");
```
## interpolation
The basics
```js
let message = I18n.m("Widget failed with error {{error_number}}.", { eror_number: 18 });
```
Interpolation can also be set at initialization to apply to all translations.
```js
const config = {
interpolation: {
defaultVariables: {
name: "Yuri",
country: "Russia",
},
},
};
I18n.init(locale, path, config);
let message = I18n.m("My name is {{name}} and I'm from {{country}}.");
```
## todo
- i18next file system backend or fetch backend
- add missing ids to json
- how to deal with interface refresh?
- add hjson engine in order to be able to place comments in json
