Tongue is a do-it-yourself i18n library for Clojure and ClojureScript.
Tongue is very simple yet capable:
- Dictionaries are just Clojure maps.
- Translations are either strings, template strings or arbitrary functions.
- No additional build steps, no runtime resource loading.
- It comes with no built-in knowledge of world locales. It has all the tooling for you to define locales yourself though.
- Pure Clojure implementation, no dependencies.
- Can be used from both Clojure and ClojureScript.
In contrast with other i18n solutions relying on complex and limiting string-based syntax for defining pluralization, wording, special cases etc, Tongue lets you use arbitrary functions. It gives you convenience, code reuse and endless possibilities.
