This package offers translations for accounts-base, accounts-passwords, accounts-entry, accounts-templates-core and billing. Contributions for other packages are welcome. We try to translate only messages that might pop up at a users screen as developers are expected to understand English errors anyway.
Translations are currently available for Arabic, Catalan, Chinese (Mandarin), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brasil), Portugues (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish (South America), Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.
Off course one can easily add add translations for any application. By putting a file like myapp.es in a folder like lib/t9n translations can be used on the client and on the server. Example:
es =
meteor: "meteoro"
T9n.map "es", es`T9n.setLanguage("es")
T9n.get(code)
Examples:
T9n.get('name');T9n.get('store.purchase');T9n.get('error.accounts.User not found');
{{t9n code}}
{{t9n code parameter1='value'}}
Example: {{t9n "store.purchase"}}.
If a translation is not found the key is displayed. To spot not translated keys a prefix and a postfix can surround the key, they default to ">" and "<" so a you would see ">nonExistantKey<". You can change the pre- and postfix:
T9n.missingPrefix = ">"
T9n.missingPostfix = "<"
If you use get you can also suppress printing of the prefix and postfix if you set the second parameter to false (it defaults to true).
T9n.get code, false
Optionally named parameters can be used, naming them allows for repetition.
T9n.get code, true, args
Example:
If you define a string in your language file like
'sentence': '@{subject} @{predicate} @{adverb} @{object}. Frische @{object} @{predicate} @{subject}.'
and have an object like
args =
subject: "Fischer's Fritz"
predicate: 'fischt'
object: 'Fische'
adverb: 'frische'
you could call
T9n.get 'sentence', true, args
and that should give you
'Fischer's Fritz fischt frische Fische. Frische Fische fischt Fischer's Fritz.'
You must specify the second argument for prefix/postfix too, I am sorry.
T9n.map language, yourMap
Example:
T9n.map 'en',
hello: 'world'
store:
purchase: 'buy now'
basket: 'basket'
Tip: If you do not want to expose the reason why a login was unsuccessful for security reasons. They could overwrite the corresponding messages:
T9n.map 'en',
error:
accounts:
'User not found': 'Not for you'
'Incorrect password': 'Not for you'

If you have a need to reduce bandwidth you can specify which languages to send to the client by setting an environment variable like T9N_LANGUAGES='es,de'. Now only Spanish and German should go over the wire instead of all translations.
This package is inspired by subhog's just-i18n and included this as a dependency before version 0.0.3. Sadly the all project versions before 0.0.17 where deleted from Atmosphere when they updated to the new Meteor package format.
