JEP 113 - Localization

  • Champion: Zbigniew Braniecki - gandalf@mozilla.com
  • Type: ?
  • Bug Ticket:
  • Status: ?

Proposal

Implement a set of API's allowing for jetpack localization

  • bind example:
var params = {
  tabs = 1;
}

var ctx = l10n.Context()
ctx.addReference('url://foo.l10n')
ctx.bindEntity('l10n_id1', params);

// ...
params['tabs'] = 7; // at this poin the entity value updates to

Key Issues

  • Is L10n part of a core?
  • How do we load/store files?
  • Do we hook l10n into other API's or do we provide separate methods only?
  • can we bind variables?

Dependencies & Requirements

  • byte loading
  • local urls


Internal Methods

API Methods

  • addReference(url) - adds a l10n file for a locale
  • getValue(l10n_id(, {params})) - loads an entity value
  • bindEntity(l10n_id, params) - binds entity to a set of variables. Makes an entity value update when one of params changes
  • setLocale(ab-CD) - switch locale
  • more API may be hooked into other API's depending on what we want
