An i18n library based on the banana message format

Project description

A localization library for Python based on the banana message file format. This library was originally developed inside of Pywikibot and then forked into a separate library for easier reuse.

Message specification

For the most part we use the upstream banana file format, with a few Python tweaks.

Parameters to messages are specified through printf-style formatting:

"bot-change-page": "Bot: Changing %(num)s {{PLURAL:%(num)d|page|pages}}.",

All parameters are named. Gender, grammar, and bidi support has not yet been implemented.

Usage

Assuming the directory with your JSON files is named i18n:

from banana_i18n import BananaI18n

banana = BananaI18n('i18n')
text = banana.translate('de', 'example')

Parameters must be passed as a dictionary:

text = banana.translate('de', 'bot-change-page', {'num': 2})

If the parameter is going to be used in {{PLURAL:}}, it must be the int type.

A list of all localized languages can be accesssed through banana.known_languages().

License

banana-i18n is available under the terms of the MIT license.
