Nesting
Nesting allows you to reference other keys in a translation. Could be useful to build glossary terms.
keys
{"nesting1": "1 $t(nesting2)","nesting2": "2 $t(nesting3)","nesting3": "3",}
sample
i18next.t('nesting1'); // -> "1 2 3"
You can reference keys from other namespaces by prepending the namespace: "nesting1": "1 $t(common:nesting2)",
You can pass entire data models in options.
keys
{"girlsAndBoys": "$t(girls, {'count': {{girls}} }) and {{count}} boy","girlsAndBoys_plural": "$t(girls, {'count': {{girls}} }) and {{count}} boys","girls": "{{count}} girl","girls_plural": "{{count}} girls"}
sample
i18next.t('girlsAndBoys', {count: 2, girls: 3});// -> "3 girls and 2 boys"
keys
{"key1": "hello world","key2": "say: {{val}}"}
sample
i18next.t('key2', {val: '$t(key1)'});// -> "say: hello world"
Prefix/Suffix for nesting and other options can be overridden in init interpolation options or by passing additional options to t function:
sample
i18next.init({interpolation: { ... }});​i18next.t('key', {interpolation: { ... }});
option | default | description |
nestingPrefixEscaped | undefined | escaped prefix for nesting (regexSafe) |
nestingSuffixEscaped | undefined | escaped suffix for nesting (regexSafe) |
While there are a lot of options going with the defaults should get you covered.
