fluent-compiler 0.1.1

Blazing fast implementation of Fluent localization language.

This is a Python implementation of Project Fluent, a localization framework designed to unleash the entire expressive power of natural language translations.

It provides a different implementation from the official fluent.runtime implementation, distinguished mainly by:

• strategy: we compile FTL files to Python AST

• speed: as a result of the above, plus optimizations, we get blazing fast performance, especially when combined with PyPy which can further optimize.

• compile-time checking and error reporting

• ‘escapers’ feature for handling things like HTML escaping/embedding correctly.

Status

This code was originally developed as part of fluent.runtime, as an alternative implementation of FluentBundle, but never got merged to the master branch. We are in the process of pulling it out as a separate package.

It has seen usage in production a dependency of django-ftl for a long time. However, now that we don’t need full compatibility with fluent.runtime it will be modified further in terms of interface.
