MessageFormat i18n support for Meteor, with reactive templates

meteor-messageformat

MessageFormat support, the Meteor way.

For Meteor < 0.8.0, use messageformat v0.0.26.

Easy reactive use of complicated strings (gender, plural, etc) with insanely easy translation into other languages (through a web UI).

For full info, docs and examples, see the Meteor MessageFormat home page (or install/clone the smart package and run mrt in its website directory).

In short, you'll get to use the {{mf}} helper. Simple example:

<p>{{mf 'trans_string' 'This string is translatable'}}</p>

but much more complex strings are possible, and are useful even if your website is only available in one language, e.g.:

{{#mf KEY='gender_plural' GENDER=getGender NUM_RESULTS=getNum NUM_CATS=getNum2}}
{GENDER, select,
       male {He}
     female {She}
      other {They}
 } found {NUM_RESULTS, plural,
         =0 {no results}
        one {1 result}
      other {# results}
 } in {NUM_CATS, plural,
        one {1 category}
      other {# categories}
 }.
 {{/mf}}

Possible outputs:

He found 2 results in 1 category.
She found 1 result in 2 categories.
etc

Besides gender, there is support for offsets too, e.g.:

You and one other person added this to their profile.
