multilang

Tools for multilanguage & Markdown multilang

language: also available in:

In a Markdown or HTML-like file is written the documentation in multiple languages.

One of these languages ​​is the main, the others are commented with <!-- and -->

Then with multilang the other languages ​​are extracted to generate one file for each of the other languages ​​defined

Install

$ npm install multilang -g

Use

$ multilang doc-en.md

A .md file is generated for the other languages written in doc-en.md file

Multilanguage document format

Any HTML or Markdown document is a multilenguage document if it has a main multilanguage directive.

Example

<!--multilanguage v0 en:README.md es:LEEME.md fr:LISEZMOI.md-->
<!--multilanguage buttons-->
language: English see also: [Spanish](README.md) [French](LISEZMOI.md)

<!--lang:es-->
Este es un pequeño ejemplo

<!--lang:en--]
This is a little example

[!--lang:fr--]
Ce est un petit exemple

[!--lang:*-->
All you need is multilang!

<!--lang:es-->
"*" means all languages

<!--lang:en--]
"*" es para indicar todos los idiomas

[!--lang:fr--]
"*" est d'indiquer toutes les langues

In this example:

<!--multilanguage v0 en:README.md es:LEEME.md fr:LISEZMOI.md-->

is the directive for declare the languages

<!--multilanguage buttons-->

is the directive for declaring the place for the button section

[!--lang:fr--]

is the directive for declaring the language of the next section (use * from all languages)

API

var fs = require('fs');
var multilang = require('multilang');

var englishText = fs.readFileSync('README.md', {encoding:'utf8'});

var warnings = multilang.getWarnings(englishText);
if(warnings.lengt){
    console.log('WARN', warnings);
}

var spanishText = multilang.changeDoc(englishText,'es');

console.log('spanish.md',spanishText);

(note about the example: do not use Sync functions in production, use async or promise version as you can see in codenautas

function	use
changeDoc(text,lang)	receives a multilang text and a language code and returns de text of specified lang
warnings(text)	receives a list of warnings and returns a multilang text
