3. Finally, create a locale
folder at the assets
folder of your project with appropiate country traduction files

Translation file:
{
"How are you?": "Comment ça va?",
"hello": {
"form": "Comment ça va?"
}
}
For simple translation you can use human sentence inside key object:
"How are you?" // result => Comment ça va?
Or your can use key and subkey:
"hello.form" // result => Comment ça va?
Params works with collection
['firstParam', 'secondParam', '...']
, not Object{}
Marker key is the concatenation of $ and position key inside collection
Why? this is very faster than object !
Translation file:
{
"Hello $0, my name is $1, i live in $2": "Salut $0, je m'appel $1, je vie à $2"
}
Collection params: ["John Doe", "Mounir R'Quiba", "Paris"]
// $ + position => $0 => John Doe
// $ + position => $1 => Mounir R'Quiba
// $ + position => $2 => Paris
"Hello $0, my name is $1, i live in $2"
// result => "Salut John Doe, je m'appel Mounir R'Quiba, je vie à Paris"
Pluralizaition works with THE BANANA IN THE BOX
[(
open tag and)]
to close tagEvery block is serparated by a pipe
|
You can use 1 to 3 blocks, so the maximum of pipes is 2
Translation file:
{
"I have [($0|$0 apple|$0 apples)] in [($1|$1 bag|$1 bags)]": "J'ai [($0|$0 pomme|$0 pommes)] dans [($1|$1 sac|$1 sacs)]"
}
Collection params: [2, 1]
// $ + position => $0 => 2
// $ + position => $1 => 1
"I have [($0|$0 apple|$0 apples)] in [($1|$1 bag|$1 bags)]"
// result => "J'ai 2 pommes dans 1 sac"
Explanation
[($0|$0 apple|$0 apples)]
block 1:
$0
is the key to findblock 2:
$0 apple
is the translated sentence when $0 <= 1block 3:
$0 apples
is the translated sentence when $0 > 1
Zero value works with THE BANANA IN THE BOX
[(
open tag and)]
to close tagEvery block is serparated by a pipe
|
You can use 1 to 4 blocks, so the maximum of pipes is 3
Translation file:
{
"I have [($0|$0 apple|$0 apples|nothing)] [($1|in my bag|in $1 bags|)]": "[($0|J'ai une pomme|J'ai $0 pommes|Je n'ai rien)] [($1|dans mon sac|dans mes $1 sacs|)]"
}
Collection params: [1, 1]
// $ + position => $0 => 1
// $ + position => $1 => 1
"I have [($0|$0 apple|$0 apples|nothing)] in [($1|$1 bag|$1 bags|my bag)]"
// result => "J'ai une pomme dans mon sac"
Collection params: [0, 0]
// $ + position => $0 => 0
// $ + position => $1 => 0
"I have [($0|$0 apple|$0 apples|nothing)] in [($1|$1 bag|$1 bags|my bag)]"
// result => "Je n'ai rien"
Explanation
[($0|$0 apple|$0 apples|nothing)]
block 1:
$0
is the key to findblock 2:
$0 apple
is the translated sentence when $0 == 1block 3:
$0 apples
is the translated sentence when $0 > 1
block 4:
nothing
is the translated sentence when $0 <= 0
