i18n

Sparse, source-backed localized display names for Elite Dangerous outfitting and engineering catalogues.

Each lookup takes the same Frontier symbol or fdname as its owning catalogue and a BCP 47 locale. English is complete and exactly matches the owning record's name. Other locales are intentionally sparse: the function returns null when its pinned sources carry no translation, leaving the application in control of fallback policy. A source-backed localized spelling can be identical to English; the lookup returns explicit source values verbatim but never manufactures an English fallback. The catalogues carry English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish only, each stored under a bare language tag: a regional or script subtag is dropped (de-DE → de), and any other language is an unsupported locale.

Each dataset lives in a separate runtime module. Import from this barrel for convenience or from the corresponding i18n/* subpath for an explicit bundle boundary.

Structured diagnostic helpers expose their current English fallback only for English locales and return null otherwise, so a UI never mistakes English prose for a requested translation. Stable codes and params remain available for applications that supply their own message catalogues.

Example

import {
  getBlueprintName,
  getMaterialName,
  getModuleName,
} from '@elite-dangerous-almanac/core/i18n';

getModuleName('Int_Hyperdrive_Size6_Class5', 'de'); // -> 'Frameshiftantrieb'
getBlueprintName('FSD_LongRange', 'de-DE'); // -> 'Erhöhte FSA-Reichweite'
getMaterialName('GridResistors', 'de'); // -> 'Gitterwiderstände'
