JEP 113 - Localization

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

Proposal

Implement a set of API's allowing for jetpack localization

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

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
• more API may be hooked into other API's depending on what we want
• locale(ab-CD) - switch locale
