Translation library for Angular and Ionic apps

April 01, 2018

Introducing an @ngstack/translate library that is going to satisfy all your apps’ translation (i18n) needs.

I am happy to introduce a new project called @ngstack/translate. It helps adding simple and manageable translation (i18n) support for your Angular and Ionic applications, based on external .json files.

Major features

Focuses on the translation process. Reasonable defaults. No “frameworks”, loaders, parsers, etc. split across multiple packages that you need to install and maintain just to handle your .json files.
Perfectly works with AoT and Lazy Loading as you expect it.
Loading translations from multiple locations, to cover your third party libs and feature modules.
Managing translations from code. Populate language data, translate strings, all can be done in-memory.
Configurable cache busting. Always get the fresh translation if you need that.
Supports the popular “translate” Angular Pipe naming. Variety of ways to use in the HTML templates.
Restricting supported languages and automatic fallback. Don’t waste time for probing unsupported files, and use fallback values to whatever language you want.
Open source with MIT license.. No plans to charge you. You can always buy my Angular book if you really-really want supporting the development :) but the translate library is going to remain free.
Rapidly evolving. More features are in the oven, and feel free to raise ideas/suggestions/bugs on the GitHub tracker.
