Please provide more context on what you're trying to do. It will help to see if there is a way to avoid translating manually.
It looks like you're trying to use it server-side. In that case, there are some complicating factors around providing the current user's language.
Anyways, to import translator you want to do require.main.require('./src/translator')
To translate a bunch of words there are a couple options:
Join tokens into a single string and translate it, then split the tokens, like so
const tokens = [
'[[myplugin:greeting1]]',
'[[myplugin:greeting2]]',
].join('|||');
// language is only required if server-side here
translator.translate(tokens, language, (translated) => {
const [greeting1, greeting2] = translated.split('|||');
// etc
});
This works well, especially when you need to translate from multiple namespaces, but has a fair amount of overhead.
Get translations directly and pick the ones you want, like so
// language is required here
translator.getTranslations(language, 'myplugin', (translations) => {
const { greeting1, greeting2 } = translations;
// etc
});
This works great with single namespaces but with multiple namespaces it gets a little more complicated.
