Multilanguage express app

Question

I wonder what would be the best way to implement multiple versions / languages of the same content in the same layout in express.

Should I just do this?

Answer 1

The i18n-node is the simplest and greatest module that you should use. You can use directly in Javascript code or with Jade/Handlebar templates with express js.

Why should you use i18n?

• Auto detection of locale from the browser by header, cookie or query parameter depending on your setup.
• It comes with examples as well.
• It automatically generates a en.json by default inside ./locales/. This acts as a master file for you to start building new translations.
• Supports Singular and plural forms
• Support for parameters: __('Hello %s', 'Marcus') returns Hallo Marcus
