Loco: Localization Package for Nim

Loco helps localize Nim apps. Uses classic declaratively defined "zero-one-few-many" language variables, but thanks to Nim's superpowers, you also have code completion and compilation checks for language variables.

Quickstart

1. Install Loco with Nimble:

$ nimble install loco

2. Define localizations with loco macro:

# en_US.nim

import loco

loco en:
  hello: "hello"
  users:
    zero: "no users"
    one: "{n} user"
    many: "{n} users"

Argument en is the name of a pluralizer. Pluralizer is a module in loco that defines pluralization rules for a particural language.

3. Use them in your code as regular functions:

# app.nim

import en_US

echo hello() & " world"     # → "hello world"
echo "there's " & 0.users   # → "there's no users"
echo "there's " & 1.users   # → "there's 1 user"
echo "there's " & 12.users  # → "there's 12 users"

Contributing

Any contributions are welcome, be it pull requests, code reviews, documentation improvements, bug reports, or feature requests.

If you decide to contribute through code, please run the tests after you change the code:

$ docker-compose run tests                  # run all tests in Docker
$ docker-compose run test tests/testen.nim  # run a single test suite in Docker
$ nimble test                               # run all tests natively
$ nim c -r tests/testen.nim                 # run a single test suite natively
