i18n with mustache [like: {{_i}}..{{/i}}]?

[marcinkoziej]

Hello.
What's the preferred strategy to i18nalize a mustache template?

Twitter's fork of Mustache.js uses {{_i}} {{/i}} sections to callout to gettext.

Will this be ported to main mustache spec? Or should One just provide a lambda and use it like {{#i}}Some text{{/i}} ?

Lambdas are definitely the preferred method for this at this time.

Various implementations offer tricks to help you with this, as well.

In the Ruby version of Mustache, you can add methods to the Mustache class (or any subclass thereof), and they will be immediately available when rendering any instance.

Milk gives you the Milk.helpers object, which can be used to introduce globally available data and functions. http://bit.ly/pZS5M3

Internationalizing interpolated data can also be done, though it's not universally supported. http://bit.ly/pZgdAq

I have two different kinds of lambdas in my implementation, ones that take template text and return template text and ones that take output text and return output text. It appears that the current spec module only supports the first case.

Closing this as the question seems to have been answered.
