# 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

## 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.
