Client Side Internationalization
summary
Claims that client-side code can handle real pluralization and gendered sentences by using MessageFormat backed by ICU rules, shows a JavaScript implementation that compiles messages to raw functions and integrates with Handlebars, and ships a translation web app called jed toolkit to automate string extraction and translator workflow. Demonstrations show multiple plural variables in one sentence, offsets for “X and N others,” and that RTL layout remains unresolved.
