R18n Desktop

A tool to translate your desktop application to several languages.

It is just a wrapper for R18n core library. See R18n documentation for more information.

• Nice Ruby-style syntax.
• Filters.
• Model Translation (or any Ruby object).
• Auto-detect user locales.
• Flexible locales.
• Total flexibility.

See full features in main README.

1. Create translations dir. For example: ./i18n/.

2. Add file with translation to ./i18n/ with language code in file name (for example, en.yml for English or en-us.yml USA English dialect). For example, ./i18n/en.yml:

   file:
    add: Add file
    delete: Delete file %1
   
   files: !!pl
    0: No files
    1: One file
    n: '%1 files'

3. Add R18n to your application:

   require 'r18n-desktop'

4. Load I18n object:

   R18n.from_env('i18n/')

User can set the locale manually:

 ```ruby
R18n.from_env('i18n/', manual_locale)
 ```

5. Include mixin to use helpers:

   include R18n::Helpers

6. Use translation messages to user. For example:

   t.file.add            #=> "Add file"
   t.file.delete('Test') #=> "Delete file Test"
   t.files(1)            #=> "One file"
   t.files(12)           #=> "12 files"
   
   l -12000.5          #=> "−12,000.5"
   l Time.now          #=> "2009-08-09 21:41"
   l Time.now, :human  #=> "now"
   l Time.now, :full   #=> "August 9th, 2009 21:41"
   
   # Base translation
   t.ok     #=> "OK"
   t.cancel #=> "Cancel"

7. You can print user locale or available locales:

   "Your locale: " + r18n.locale.title
   "Select another: " + r18n.available_locales.map { |i| i.title }.join(', ')
