Been looking for a full stack including tools for gettext-style i18n with AngularJS.
Ended up (working proof of concept) with the following:
| <!-- sample usage html/partial/view markup --> | |
| {{_("Your last.fm username")}}:<br/> | |
| <input ng-model="lastFMuserName"/> <button ng-click="setLastFMuserName()">{{_("Set")}}</button> | |
| <h3>{{_n("Suggestion","Suggestions",suggs.length)}}</h3> |
| // sample usage in Angular service | |
| angular.module('swl').factory('artistAlbumModelService',['linguaService', ... ,function(linguaService, ...) { | |
| addArtistAlbum:function(ar,al) { | |
| if (artistAlbumModelService.containsArtistAlbum(ar,al)) { | |
| statusService.add('error',linguaService._("Skipping duplicate, %1$s %2$s is already in the list",[ar,al])); | |
| ... | |
| }]); | |
| // sample usage in Angular controller | |
| angular.module('swl').controller('SettingsCtrl',['$scope', ..., function($scope, ...) { | |
| statusService.add('info',$scope._("import complete")); | |
| }]); | |
| // init | |
| var Lingua = { | |
| init:function(doc,cb) { | |
| "use strict"; | |
| var locale = localStorage.getItem('locale'); | |
| console.log(locale); | |
| if (locale) { | |
| var s = doc.createElement('script'); | |
| s.setAttribute('src', "//code.angularjs.org/1.1.5/i18n/angular-locale_"+locale+".js"); | |
| doc.body.appendChild(s); | |
| } else { | |
| locale = "en-us"; | |
| } | |
| microAjax('l_'+locale+'.json',function(data) { | |
| data = JSON.parse(data); | |
| var i18n = new Jed({ | |
| "domain" : locale, | |
| "missing_key_callback" : function(key) { | |
| console.error("Missing key " + key + " for " + locale); | |
| }, | |
| locale_data : data | |
| }); | |
| console.log(i18n); | |
| window.i18n = i18n; | |
| cb(); | |
| }); | |
| } | |
| }; | |
| // the lingua module | |
| angular.module('lingua',[]); | |
| angular.module('lingua').factory('linguaService',function() { | |
| var linguaService = { | |
| _:function(singular, vars) { | |
| return i18n.translate(singular).fetch(vars); | |
| }, | |
| _n:function(singular, plural,n, vars) { | |
| if (n) { | |
| return i18n.translate(singular).ifPlural(n, plural).fetch(n); | |
| } else { | |
| return i18n.translate(singular).fetch(vars); | |
| } | |
| } | |
| }; | |
| return linguaService; | |
| }); | |
| // usage in view/partial: ng-click:changeLocale('sv-se); | |
| angular.module('lingua').controller('linguaController',['$scope', '$window',function linguaController($scope,$window) { | |
| $scope.changeLocale = function(locale) { | |
| // so, only way to reload $locale is on full page reload | |
| // and load angular-locale_xx-yy.js | |
| localStorage.setItem('locale',locale); | |
| $window.location.reload(); | |
| }; | |
| }]); |
| // Angular init stuff | |
| angular.module('swl').run(['$rootScope',...,'linguaService',function($rootScope,...,linguaService) { | |
| $rootScope._ = linguaService._; | |
| $rootScope._n = linguaService._n; | |
| ... | |
| }]); |

##Requirements:
##Simple babel.cfg file: [javascript:*.js] encoding = utf-8
[jinja2: *.html] encoding = utf-8
##Workflow: ###Generate .pot file:
pybabel extract -F babel.cfg -k _n:1,2 -k _ -o translations/messages.pot . partials js
###Translations tool like poedit to create a catalog and make translations (outputs .po/.mo files)
###Generate .json
po2json translations/sv-se.po l_sv-se.json
Not gettext-style but maybe interesting for you guys @paumoreno @ErikAndreas: angular-translate -http://pascalprecht.github.io/angular-translate
