# Babel17
Babel 17 is a small internationalization library in Javascript.
With plural rules for more than forty languages. And extensible.
Usage:
1) **Create a Babel17 object** :
```
bab = new Babel17({
translations: {
fr: {
help: 'Aide',
phrase_test: {one: '#name a #count idée.', other: '#name a #count idées.'},
},
en: {
help: 'Help',
phrase_test: {one: '#name has #count idea.', other: '#name has #count ideas.'},
},
ar: {
help: 'مساعدة',
phrase_test: {
zero:'.لديه #count أفكار #name',
one: '.لديه فكرة واحدة #name',
two: '.لدى #name فكرتان',
few: '.لديه #count أفكار #name',
many: '.لديه #count فكرة #name',
other: '.لديه #count فكرة #name',
},
}
}
});
```
**#name** is a variable, replaced by its value in the translation, and
**#count** is the reserved keyword for the number used to find the right plural form.
2) **Get translations with correct plural forms** :
```
translation = bab.t(['phrase_test', {count: 2, name: 'Jack'}])
```
translation will be "Jack has 2 ideas."
Translation of a string without plural forms simply come from:
```
translation = bab.t('help')
```
The locale in which Babel 17 localize come from localStorage, options.locale, navigator.language, prefix of navigator.language, options.defaultLang, or 'en'.
You can also set it by :
```
bab.locale = 'fr'
```
**Options**:
You can define the Bebel 17 object's options at the creation of the object, or after.
Options are :
- translations : the translations
- langvarName : the name used by one Babel 17 object's instance for storage. You don't need to set it until you create more than one instance.
- countKeyword : the reserved keyword used in translations for the number. "count", by default
- debug : if true, display warnings in the Javascript console when something goes wrong.
- pluralRules : you can replace the default plural rules.
