Message Format Syntax

Interpolation

i18nx use the Mustache like placeholders {} syntax for interpolation.

from i18nx import I18n

i18n = I18n(
  locale = 'en',
  fallback = 'fr',
  translations = {
    'en': { 'message': { 'hello': 'Hello {name}!' } },
    'fr': { 'message': { 'hello': 'Bonjour {name} !' } },
  },
)

print(i18n.tr("message.hello", name = 'Mario')) # Hello Mario!

Pluralization

Use a pipe | separator in combination with the param count to define plurals on the locale translations.

from i18nx import I18n

i18n = I18n(
  locale = 'en',
  fallback = 'fr',
  translations = {
    'en': {
      'car': 'car | cars',
      'apple': 'no apples | one apple | {count} apples',
    },
  },
)

print(i18n.tr("car")) # 'car'
print(i18n.tr("car", count = 0)) # 'car'
print(i18n.tr("car", count = 1)) # 'car'
print(i18n.tr("car", count = 2)) # 'cars'
print(i18n.tr("apple", count = 0)) # 'no apples'
print(i18n.tr("apple", count = 1)) # 'one apple'
print(i18n.tr("apple", count = 15)) # '15 apples'
