Fluent Fallback

The fluent-rs workspace is a collection of Rust crates implementing Project Fluent, a localization system designed to unleash the entire expressive power of natural language translations.

This crate is a high-level implementation of a collection of locale bundles including fallback between locales.

Usage

The Localization struct encapsulates a persistent localization context providing language fallbacking. The instance remains available throughout the whole life cycle of the corresponding UI, reacting to events such as locale changes, resource updates etc.

The API can be used directly, or can serve as an example of state manager for fluent-bundle and fluent-resmgr.

use fluent_fallback::Localization;

fn main() {
    // generate_messages is a closure that returns an iterator over FluentBundle
    // instances.
    let loc = Localization::new(vec!["simple.ftl".into()], generate_messages);

    let value = bundle.format_value("hello-world", None);

    assert_eq!(&value, "Hello, world!");
}
