Spoken languages

Communication within a team always works better when people can use their spoken language. Cucumber supports about 20 spoken languages. This is Norwegian:

Egenskap: Summering
  For å slippe å gjøre dumme feil
  Som en regnskapsfører
  Vil jeg kunne legge sammen

  Scenario: to tall
    Gitt at jeg har tastet inn 5
    Og at jeg har tastet inn 7
    Når jeg summerer
    Så skal resultatet være 12

  Scenario: tre tall
    Gitt at jeg har tastet inn 5
    Og at jeg har tastet inn 7
    Og at jeg har tastet inn 1
    Når jeg summerer
    Så skal resultatet være 13

You have to tell Cucumber that you’re using a different language than English (the default):

cucumber --language no

Adding a new language

It’s easy!

1. Make a fork of Cucumber and pull it down
2. Add your language’s keywords to languages.yml
3. Generate the parser for your language:

rake treetop:compile spec

That’s it! You have a new language that you can pass to

--language

Adding examples for a new language

Just copy the

examples/i18n/en

example to a new directory with the same name as the language you added.
Then translate everything in there. When you’re done you should be able to run

rake i18n

from the

examples/i18n

directory.
