A simple way to introduce internationalization to your JS.
$ npm install i18n-literally
import i18n from 'i18n-literally';
import db from './i18n.db.json';
// Set the database
i18n.db = db;
// 1. Write in the default language
i18n`Hello ${'World'}!`
// => Hello World!
// 2. Add/update your translations for a language
"$ npx i18n-literally index.js es"
// 3. Get translations based on locale
i18n.locale = 'es';
i18n`Hello ${'World'}!`
// => Hola World!Write your entire application in the default language, and support multiple versions of the language by simply changing the i18n.locale. To Add/update translations simply run the cli.
