FBT is an internationalization framework designed to be both powerful and flexible, but also simple and intuitive. It helps with the following:

• Organizing your source text for translation
• Composing grammatically correct translatable UI
• Source-code bloat from generating similarly constructed UI

See our demo here

• Node.js
• Yarn
• Babel

git clone [email protected]:facebookincubator/fbt.git;
cd fbt;
yarn install;

We will make the transform and runtime installable as an npm package soon. Until then, See how to use the source directly with Babel and Webpack in our demo-app:

cd demo-app; # from fbt repo
yarn install;
yarn manifest;
yarn collect-fbts;
yarn translate-fbts;
yarn start;

FBT works by transforming your <fbt> and fbt(...) constructs via Babel plugins. These plugins serve to extract strings from source and lookup translate payloads generated at build-time. FBT creates tables of all possible variations for the given fbt phrase and accesses this at runtime
