reflex-localize

Library provides helpers for dynamic strings that depends on current selected language.

How to use

First, you should define which languages your app supports:

module App.Language(
    Language(..)
  , module Reflex.Localize
  ) where

import Reflex.Localize
import Reflex.Localize.Language

data instance Language
  = English
  | Russian

Second, define enumeration for strings ids.

module App.Localization(
    module App.Localization
  , module App.Language
  ) where

import App.Language

data AboutPageStrings =
    AboutTitle
  | AboutVersion
  | AboutLicence
  | AboutHomepage
  | AboutDevelopers

instance LocalizedPrint AboutPageStrings where
  localizedShow l v = case l of
    English -> case v of
      AboutTitle      -> "About"
      AboutVersion    -> "Version"
      AboutLicence    -> "Licence"
      AboutHomepage   -> "Homepage"
      AboutDevelopers -> "Developers"
    Russian -> case v of
      AboutTitle      -> "О продукте"
      AboutVersion    -> "Версия"
      AboutLicence    -> "Лицензия"
      AboutHomepage   -> "Сайт"
      AboutDevelopers -> "Разработчики"

You can either collect all strings to one data sum or split strings for each widget.

Finally, you should implement MonadLocalized type class in you application monad. We suggest using monad transformer LocalizeT via runLocalize function:

runLocalize :: (Reflex t, TriggerEvent t m, MonadIO m) => Language -> LocalizeT t m a -> m a
