Jed

Gettext Style i18n for Modern JavaScript Apps

For more info, please visit the docs site at .

You sure you don't want something more modern?

Jed is feature complete in my opinion. I am happy to fix bugs, but generally am not interested in adding more to the library.

I also maintain messageformat.js. If you don't specifically need a gettext implementation, I might suggest using MessageFormat instead, as it has better support for plurals/gender and has built-in locale data.

Parsing Gettext Files

Jed doesn't include a Gettext file parser, but several third-party parsers exist that can have their output adapted for Jed.

#### Node

Just search the npm repository, there are several PO and MO file parsers available.

#### Browser

Jed Gettext Parser is the only known browser MO file parser, and it also works in Node, and outputs Jed-compatible data directly.

gettext.js and Pomo.js both include browser-compatible PO file parsers.

Todo

* Build time generation of plural form functions
* Web interface for building translation sets
* Code introspection for default values

The name

The name jed.js is an homage to Jed Schmidt () the JavaScript community member who is a japanese translator by day, and a "hobbyist" JavaScript programmer by night. Give your kids three character names and they'll probably get software named after them too.
