Usage

To localize text in your application, surround your strings with [[[ and ]]] markup characters to mark them as translatable. That's it.

Here's an example of localizing text in a Razor view:

    <div id="content">
        <h2>[[[Welcome to my web app!]]]</h2>
        <h3><span>[[[Amazing slogan here]]]</span></h3>
        <p>[[[Ad copy that would make Hiten Shah fall off his chair!]]]</p>
        <span class="button" title="[[[Click to see plans and pricing]]]">
            <a href="@Url.Action("Plans", "Home", new { area = "" })">
                <strong>[[[SEE PLANS & PRICING]]]</strong>
                <span>[[[Free unicorn with all plans!]]]</span>
            </a>
        </span>
    </div>

And here's an example in an MVC controller:

    using i18n;
    
    namespace MyApplication
    {
        public class HomeController : Controller
        {
            public ActionResult Index()
            {
                ViewBag.Message = "[[[Welcome to ASP.NET MVC!]]]";

                return View();
            }
        }
    }

At last, you can localize your data annotations as easy as this:

    public class PasswordResetViewModel
    {
        [Required(ErrorMessage="[[[Please fill in this field]]]")]
        [Email(ErrorMessage = "[[[Email not yet correct]]]")]
        [Display(Name = "[[[Email Address]]]")]
        public string Email
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }

And localize arguments passed to MVC URL-Helpers or other functions that require a plain string:

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name, "[[[First Name]]]")

And for Javascript:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            alert("[[[Hello world!]]]");
        });
    </script>
