Motivation

Text Localizer is a package born out of the need to manage translations in a typesafe manner. Currently, the best-known solutions in javascript for managing translations are based on a key-value approach (i18n.js, i18next).

This approach involves this way of accessing the individual translation.

console.log(translationsObject.get('translations_key'));

The main problems with this approach are that:

• There is no effective compile-time support to catch errors if the key is wrong;
• There is no way of knowing whether the key being accessed is set for all languages;
• There is no warning if you try to access an unsupported locale;
• The refactoring of translation keys can easily lead to problems that cannot be intercepted at compile-time.

Consequently, the goal of TextLocalizer is to provide a lightweight, fast, and flexible way to access translation strings in a type-safe manner in the JavaScript world.
