Polyglot i18n

So far we have node-polyglot installed & a config option which provides either "en" or "en_PL" languages.

_e() equivalent syntax is:

#!hbs

{{e key defaultString options}}

Where:

• key is the lookup key to find the correct string in the language json files
• defaultString is the String in English (UK)
• options is any variables which require interpolation, in attribute="value" format

Simple example

#!hbs

{{e "editor.actions.save_draft" "Save Draft"}}

Example with interpolation

#!hbs

{{e "editor.word_count" "%{count} words" count="561"}}

The function is used in the navbar partial, and throughout editor.hbs as an example.

Still todo:

• ensure all of the admin is marked up #16
• move the i18n code to somewhere sensible #17
• optimise for the default "en" language #18
• use promises to load the language file #21

Also to be in separate stories:

• language file loading for the frontend / theme #19
• using req.acceptedLanguages to set the language on first load of the dashboard after install #20

Interesting questions:

• should the admin i18n be in a json file, or should it be in the database?
• how can we make it easy for developers to create these files for their themes / plugins?
