FBT is an internationalization framework designed to be both powerful and flexible, but also simple and intuitive. It helps with the following:
- Organizing your source text for translation
- Composing grammatically correct translatable UI
- Source-code bloat from generating similarly constructed UI
git clone git@github.com:facebookincubator/fbt.git
cd fbt
yarn install
We will make the transform and runtime installable as an npm package soon. Until then, See how to use the source directly with Babel and Webpack in our demo-app:
cd demo-app # from fbt repo
yarn install
yarn manifest
yarn collect-fbts
yarn translate-fbts
yarn start
FBT works by transforming your <fbt> and fbt(...) constructs via
Babel plugins. These plugins serve to extract strings from source and
lookup translate payloads generated at build-time. FBT creates tables
of all possible variations for the given fbt phrase and accesses this
at runtime
