How to use translator module?

Hello.

How to translae many words?

const translator = require.main.require('./src/modules/translator');

translator.translate('[[myplugin:greeting1]]', function(translated1) {
    translator.translate('[[myplugin:greeting2]]', function(translated2) {
        console.log('Translated string:', translated1, translated2);
    });
});

If I have 100 words?

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.
