@ljack thanks for this. Maybe we also should consider setting date format differently for each language.
I didn't localised MK app before, so I don't have experience to share (I localised just one application but that was manually written - not generated).
@perak Ah, thanks for remembering to localise dates too ;)
Gave date localisation a quick look and tried to implement straight by adding tap:i18n helper into the date field, but..
"name": "dueDate",
"title": "{{_ 'dueDate'}}",
"type": "date",
"format": "{{_ 'dueDate_format'}}",
"exportable": true,
"input": "datepicker"
},
doesn't seem to work properly: generated html
<td>
{{formatDate dueDate '{{_ 'dueDate_format'}}'}}
</td>
which is invalid
While processing files with templating (for target web.browser):
client/views/invoices/details/details.html:93: Expected space
...etails.dueDate '{{_ 'dueDate_format'}}'}}...
^
client/views/invoices/edit/edit.html:84: Expected space
...etails.dueDate '{{_ 'dueDate_format'}}'}}...
^
client/views/invoices/invoices.html:148: Expected space
...atDate dueDate '{{_ 'dueDate_format'}}'}}...
^
=> Your application has errors. Waiting for file change.
maybe to put double quotes (you cannot mix single quotes in thesame string....) ?
This package seems interesting. It even has translation GUI built in. http://messageformat.meteor.com/docs#quickstart https://github.com/gadicc/meteor-messageformat/tree/v2
and this one supports dates and times etc https://atmospherejs.com/benoitt/intl
Hello,
I use an i18n solution in a project originally created using Meteor Kitchen. This is not a huge way to go to integrate it in an existing app (I have an issue opened here where I shared a link of a proof of concept website).
Note that you will need 3 things, that I like better to be separated:
If you want to have a look at the (very basic) demo app, check on my github account, it must be still there.
Hi, I'll open this issue to talk about localisation support for MK. As a experiment I've added l18n support to example-invoice using tap:i18n and it works very well ;) Maybe, it could be possible to make it even smoother experience. I just hate typing
{{_ 'Default Text'}}
and have wrong ticks and wrong braces from my finnish keyboard layout ;)I'm still cleaning code and the app a little bit but I think I'll provide URL where to try the localised version of example-invoice and the also put the JSON here. Also there's some modifications in ./meteor-kitchen/templates (bootstrap .. components).
I think there are maybe some ways the MK Designer could help in localisation.

as the default key for title translation lookup key.How have you implemented localisation support on your MK/M apps, any experience that could be shared?
edit: Added sample files: laskuni.json.txt fi.i18n.json.txt en.i18n.json.txt
Added templates from .meteor-kitchen.../bootstrap:
data_view.html.txt register.html.txt login.html.txt forgot_password.html.txt change_pass.html.txt
