Usage Sample

installation:

npm install i18next

Add your resourcefile under /locales/en-US/translation.json:

{
  "app": {
    "name": "i18next"
  },
  "creator": {
    "firstname": "Jan",
    "lastname": "Mühlemann"
  }
}

init and translate:

var i18n = require("i18next");

i18n.init(function(t) {
  i18n.t("my.key")
});

Usage with express

init i18next:

var i18n = require("i18next");

i18n.init(function(err, t) {
  i18n.t("my.key.toLookUp")
});

Register Handler:

// Configuration block of express app
app.configure(function() {
    app.use(express.bodyParser());
    app.use(i18n.handle);
    app.use(app.router);

    // ...
});

Register AppHelper so you can use the translate function inside template:

i18n.registerAppHelper(app)

template code (eg. jade):

// sample in jade
body
    span= t("my.key.toLookUp")
