FBT is an internationalization framework for JavaScript 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
• Eliminating verbose boilerplate for generating UI

See our demo here

• Node.js
• Yarn
• Babel

git clone [email protected]:facebookincubator/fbt.git
cd fbt
yarn install

NOTE: if you make changes to the fbt runtime that you'd like to test in the demo-app, be sure to run this command to rebuild the JS code:

yarn build-runtime

See how to use the source directly with Babel and Webpack in our demo-app.

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.
