STATUS: backburner. This will eventually be in production, but is not yet used anywhere, since there are more pressing issues to tackle for directions.
This module contains all of the translatable strings in the Mapbox Directions API, which is a simple transformation from OSRM output into sentences.
These strings are translated in Transifex under the
mapbox/directions-instructions project.
Translations are pulled back into this project using the sync_transifex.js
script.
This script downloads updated translations from Transifex and saves them
in the translations.json file: to run this script you'll need the environment
variables
TRANSIFEX_USERTRANSIFEX_PASSWORD
Set in your terminal environment to valid Transifex credentials.
This is the source of our translatable strings: when it is updated, you need to manually import it into Transifex and Transifex will merge previously-translated strings with the new and updated set.
This is the output of translations: it is created with sync_transifex.js.
The JavaScript file loaded in a call to require('directions-instructions'):
this loads and combines the english.json source file and translations.json
file to produce an object with a form like:
strings = {
// iso codes
"en": {
"instructions": {
"1": "Continue"
}
// ....
},
"es": {
"instructions": {
"1": "Continuar"
}
// ....
}
}
