    The origin of this format start Ruby. The i18n-js format is a direct export of translations defined by Ruby on Rails. To export the translations, a Ruby gem can be used, that's completely disconnected from Rails and that can be used for the solely purpose of exporting the translations, even if your project is written in a different language. For JavaScript there's a companion JavaScript package. It comes bundled with all base translations made available by rails-i18n. Base translations allow formatting date, numbers, and sentence connectors, among other things.

  • Internationalization with Rails and i18n-js
    1 project | dev.to | 6 Oct 2020
    I was working on an app built with React on Rails. Most of the pages were written in React, but some pages were written in and rendered from the Rails views. This meant that I needed to figure out a way to provide translations on both the backend and the frontend. I searched for articles and tutorials, but I couldn’t find one that was solving the same problem I had. I found a lot of tutorials on “i18n-ing” Rails apps, and some on Rails and Javascript, but not on Rails and React. After spending some time researching, I decided to try rails-i18n and i18n-js gems.
