Localization

We use the i18next internationalization library for multi-language support. The strings are stored in the /locales folder. The file name is the language code.

Tips:

1. Try to make the Hebrew text gender neutral. If you need to differentiate between genders, use the _male or _female suffixes.
2. Use variables in the text if needed, don't concatenate strings.
3. i18next supports many string operations including formatting, single/plural forms and more. Take a look at i18next documentation.

Templates

We use Jade template engine, a language that compiles to HTML, to seperate logic from markup. No more angle brackets!

i18n & templates

You can use i18n in Jade templates. To set an HTML element with a translatable data the general syntax is:

HTML_ELEMENT=t('KEY')

Example:

h1=t('welcome_spark')

Text injection inside attributes:

#{t('KEY')}

Example:

input( data-error="#{t('bad_email')}" )

Email

Spark emails by default are not being sent. If you wish the emails from Spark to go through, set the enable property in your local config file.

  "mail": {
	"enabled": true,
  },
