i18next-pseudo

i18next-pseudo is a plugin for i18next that returns translated strings in Pseudolocalization format.

Pseudolocalization

Pseudolocalization
> Pseudolocalization (or pseudo-localization) is a software testing method used for testing internationalization aspects of software. Instead of translating the text of the software into a foreign language, as in the process of localization, the textual elements of an application are replaced with an altered version of the original language.

About => ḀḀḀḅṓṓṓṵṵṵṭ

English in general is much shorter than other languages. This plugin will allow developers to design and develop without focusing on the length of an given word. Issues that arise during multilingual testing will be easily found at the time of development.

Getting Started

$ npm install --save i18next-pseudo

Usage

In your configuration for i18next, instantiate it as a new class and set the postProcess to pseudo in the init block.

``javascript import i18n from 'i18next'; import { reactI18nextModule } from 'react-i18next'; import Pseudo from 'i18next-pseudo';

i18n .use(new Pseudo()) .use(reactI18nextModule) .init({ ... postProcess: ['pseudo'], ... });

export default i18n;
