add multi language support about faker HOT 16 OPEN

Good question! I think we should first of look at other faker implementations and get ideas from them. Do for example the python/ruby package supports LTR? If they do, perhaps their way is a good starting point. If they don't, then perhaps faker.languages can be the way forward.

Ohh cool 👍

Thanks for the info, I will check it out when it's ready. Let me know if I can help in any other way, adding translations, docs, etc... I have some free time at the moment and would be glad to help out!

hey @nombrekeff
I added the rest of the DataProviders in here (#49) . feel free to check it

from faker.

@easazade Makes sense and sounds like good addition. Feel free to send a PR!

from faker.

@drager Great, do you have any suggestion on how to approach implementing feature?

I'm thinking something like this for example :

faker.languages.farsi.words(3)

from faker.

@drager I checked. Python package supports Localization of Data and implemented it using different Data Providers to provide localized data for each different Locale.

here is what they do :

from faker import Faker
fake = Faker('it_IT')
for _ in range(10):
    print(fake.name())

# 'Elda Palumbo'
# 'Pacifico Giordano'
# 'Sig. Avide Guerra'
# 'Yago Amato'
# 'Eustachio Messina'
# 'Dott. Violante Lombardo'
# 'Sig. Alighieri Monti'
# 'Costanzo Costa'
# 'Nazzareno Barbieri'
# 'Max Coppola'

Awesome, that seems like a good way of doing it? Or what do you think? 😊

@drager I was thinking we should add LocaleDataProvider for each locale (which falls to the community to do so). but also allow user to add its own CustomDataProvider. this is really helpful for demo purposes when creating Flutter apps and creating fake data which is more relevent to the app. So I think starting with the CustomDataProvider makes more sense

@drager thanks for the merge. I will start adding DataProvider to the rest of the faker features that can be customized by localizations or etc.

@easazade Thank you! Sounds great!

I would like to help with portuguese br translation when available.

from faker.

@rumbleh Feel free to work on it!

from faker.

next time I contributed in order to finish this. I remember to add some documentation.

from faker.

Is anyone working on this? I would love to give it a go if nobody is working on it.

I'm wanting to localize it for randomizing Spanish data

from faker.

@nombrekeff thank you for the comment. reminded me there is unfinished work to be done here. I decided to add the rest of the data providers to other data generators like address , food job and etc. after that everyone can add their own customized DataProviders like SpanishLoremProvider or SpanishAddressProvider and so force

from faker.

I should also update the docs
