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 ctx = l10n.Context()
ctx.addReference('url://foo.l10n')
var params = {
tabs = 1;
}
ctx.bindEntity('l10n_id1', params);
// ...
params['tabs'] = 7; // at this poin the entity value updates to a new value
- other API bindings examples:
var ctx = l10n.Context()
ctx.addReference('url://foo.l10n')
notification.show({'l10n_id': 'id1'})
contextMenu.add({
l10n_id: 'id2',
action: function() {}
})
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
