The world of Gettext is filled with a set of useful tools and documentation. As you may already know Gettext is an internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) system that was originally written by Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. Its mainly targeted at Unix like systems but there are also portable binaries for Windows. In this tutorial, we are going to learn how can we utilize the tools offered by this library and ease our process of internationalizing our applications.
This article is going to continue discussion of using I18n in JavaScript applications. Today you will learn how to perform internationalization in AureliaJS. Aurelia is a popular JavaScript framework for web, mobile, and desktop that is broken down into a collection of feature-oriented modules. It boasts very high performance (beating most of other modern client-side frameworks), ability to build apps with plain JavaScript or TypeScript, as well as many other cool features.
Electron is a modern framework that is suitable for building cross-platform desktop apps using common Web technologies we all know well like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. The idea is simple as the application is Chromium and Node.js based so we can leverage the existing technologies without learning new paradigms. In this article, we will see step by step how to set up Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n) in an Electron application and offer a more seamless experience for your users that choose to run it locally on their computer.
Go is a statically compiled language that gained a lot of popularity lately due to the fact that is simple, performant and fits really well with developing cloud applications. It has a strong, yet poorly documented sub-package level base library that deals with a lot of aspects related to internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n), such as character encodings, text transformations, and locale-specific text handling. Let's see what we can do to master this library and make our Go applications locale aware.
