> Linguist is a simple Elixir Internationalization library

## Installation

Add `:linguist` to your `mix.exs` dependencies:

```elixir

def deps do

  [

    {:linguist, "~> 0.5"}

  ]

end

```

Update your dependencies:

```bash

$ mix deps.get

```

## Usage

```elixir

defmodule I18n do

  use Linguist.Vocabulary

  locale "en", [

    flash: [

      notice: [

        hello: "hello %{first} %{last}",

        bye: "bye now, %{name}!"

      ]

    ],

    users: [

      title: "Users",

      profiles: [

        title: "Profiles",

      ]

    ]

  ]

  locale "fr", Path.join([__DIR__, "fr.exs"])

end

# fr.exs

[

  flash: [

    notice: [

      hello: "salut %{first} %{last}"

    ]

  ]

]

iex> I18n.t!("en", "flash.notice.hello", first: "chris", last: "mccord")

"hello chris mccord"

iex> I18n.t!("fr", "flash.notice.hello", first: "chris", last: "mccord")

"salut chris mccord"

iex> I18n.t!("en", "users.title")

"Users"

```

## Configuration

The key to use for pluralization is configurable, and should likely be an atom:

```elixir

config :linguist, pluralization_key: :count

```

will cause the system to pluralize based on the `count` parameter passed to the `t` function.
