Core part of i18n is derived from roddeh-i18n. Thank you roddeh.

Do you want to use Golang on your server? Yes! You can use Golang edition of this library. You can share same translation fileas between JavaScript and Golang.

// This sample uses with Mithril.
// You can use any virtual DOM framework.
const m = require('mithril');
const i18n = require('i18n4v');

var mithrilComponent = {
    view(ctrl) {
        return m("div", i18n("hello world");
    }
}

i18n.translator.add({
    values: {
        "hello world": "こんにちわ世界"
    }
});
