[](http://travis-ci.org/SlexAxton/Jed) # Jed *Gettext Style i18n for Modern JavaScript Apps* For more info, please visit the docs site at <http://slexaxton.github.com/Jed>. ## You sure you don't want something more modern? Jed is feature complete in my opinion. I am happy to fix bugs, but generally am not interested in adding more to the library. I also maintain [messageformat.js](https://github.com/SlexAxton/messageformat.js). If you don't specifically need a gettext implementation, I might suggest using MessageFormat instead, as it has better support for plurals/gender and has built-in locale data. ## Parsing Gettext Files Jed doesn't include a Gettext file parser, but several third-party parsers exist that can have their output adapted for Jed. #### Node Just search the npm repository, there are several PO and MO file parsers available. #### Browser [Jed Gettext Parser](https://github.com/WrinklyNinja/jed-gettext-parser) is the only known browser MO file parser, and it also works in Node, and outputs Jed-compatible data directly. [gettext.js](https://code.google.com/p/gettext-js) and [Pomo.js](https://github.com/cfv1984/pomo) both include browser-compatible PO file parsers. ## Todo * Build time generation of plural form functions * Web interface for building translation sets * Code introspection for default values ## License Jed is a member project of the [jQuery Foundation](https://jquery.org/) You may use this software under the MIT License.

That was written by: * Joshua I. Miller The sprintf implementation is from: * Alexandru Marasteanu <alexaholic [at) gmail (dot] com> ## The name The name jed.js is an homage to Jed Schmidt (<https://github.com/jed>) the JavaScript community member who is a japanese translator by day, and a "hobbyist" JavaScript programmer by night. Give your kids three character names and they'll probably get software named after them too.
