Translating routes

[xpepermint]

Please add a function which returns a list of translations for a key (as an array) so we will be able to translate express routes like the example:

var app = express();

function __l(key) {
  var translations = [];
  Object.keys(i18n.getCatalog()).forEach(function(locale) {
    translations.push( i18n.__({phrase: key, locale: locale}) );
  });
  return translations;
}

app.get( __l('/:locale/products/:id?'), function (req, res) {
  req.setLocale( req.params.locale );
  res.render('index');

  // this will match routes
  // /:locale/products/:id?       ... EN
  // /:locale/productos/:id?     ... ES
  // ...
});

so you'll expect:

var routes = __l('/:locale/products/:id?');

// equals - a)

routes = [
  '/:locale/products/:id?',
  '/:locale/productos/:id?'
];

// or how about - b)

routes = [
  {'en': '/:locale/products/:id?'},
  {'es': '/:locale/productos/:id?'}
];

Let's add the b as a default. If you pass true as the second parameter, you get the a. What do you think?

Even better would be the .inverse() of my proposal :). If you pass true for the second parameter, you get a hash (b) and by default an array is returned (a). What do you think?

@mashpie Which option do you prefer? I would appreciate if you could add this feature into next version. Thanks!

[mashpie]

hmm. liked to catchup with this in next release. Let's see if I manage that

[mashpie]

I think it's best to split:

• __l() returns a list
• __h() returns a hash
