This plugin adds localization (l10n) support to Transloco, enabling applications to adapt content to meet the language, cultural, and other requirements of specific locales.

Installation

pnpm

pnpm add @jsverse/transloco-locale

yarn

npm

Setup

Standalone

Add locale providers to your app configuration:

app.config.ts

export const appConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideTranslocoLocale(),
    ...
  ],
};

Import the TranslocoLocaleModule or the specific directive/pipe you need into your standalone component.

NgModule

Localization Pipes

Transloco Locale provides a robust localization API through Angular pipes or services, leveraging the native JavaScript APIs.

Date Pipe

Format dates according to the locale.

<!-- Default short format -->
<span> {{ date | translocoDate }} </span>
<!-- Medium date and time -->
<span> {{ date | translocoDate: { dateStyle: 'medium', timeStyle: 'medium' } }} </span>
<!-- UTC time zone -->
<span> {{ date | translocoDate: { timeZone: 'UTC', timeStyle: 'full' } }} </span>

Currency Pipe

Formats numbers into localized currency.

<!-- Default currency -->
<span> {{ 1000000 | translocoCurrency }} </span>
<!-- Currency name -->
<span> {{ 1000000 | translocoCurrency: 'name' }} </span>
<!-- Custom configuration -->
<span> {{ 1000000 | translocoCurrency: 'symbol': { minimumFractionDigits: 0 } }} </span>

Decimal Pipe

Formats numbers into localized decimals.

<!-- Default format -->
<span> {{ 1234567890 | translocoDecimal }} </span>
<!-- No grouping -->
<span> {{ 1234567890 | translocoDecimal: { useGrouping: false } }} </span>

Percent Pipe

Formats numbers into localized percentages.

<span> {{ 1 | translocoPercent }} </span>

Setting Locale

You have several options to set your translation locale:

1

Translation File Names

Use locale-specific file names to automatically set locales on langChanges$ events.

├─ i18n/
   ├─ en-US.json
   ├─ en-GB.json
   ├─ es-ES.json

2

Language to Locale Mapping

Map Transloco languages to locales using langToLocaleMapping.

// app.config.ts
export const appConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideTranslocoLocale({
      langToLocaleMapping: {
        en: 'en-US',
        es: 'es-ES',
      },
    }),
  ],
};

3

Manual Locale Setting

Manually set the locale via the service

export class AppComponent {
  #localeService = inject(TranslocoLocaleService);

  ngOnInit() {
    this.#localeService.setLocale('en-US');
  }
}

---

Configuration Options

Global Configuration

Customize global locale formatting.

const globalFormatConfig = {
  date: { dateStyle: 'long', timeStyle: 'long' },
};

export const appConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideTranslocoLocale({
      localeConfig: {
        global: globalFormatConfig,
      },
    }),
  ],
};

Component-Level Configuration

Set locale formatting in individual components.

@Component({
  selector: 'my-comp',
  templateUrl: './my-comp.component.html',
  providers: [provideTranslocoLocaleConfig(localeConfig)],
})
export class MyComponent {}

---

Service API

• localeChanges$: Observable for active locale changes.

• localizeDate(): Formats dates according to the locale.

• localizeNumber(): Formats numbers based on the locale.

• setLocale(): Updates the active locale.

• getCurrencySymbol(): Retrieves the currency symbol for a locale.

this.localeService.localeChanges$.subscribe((locale) => console.log(locale));
this.localeService.localizeNumber(1234, 'decimal'); // e.g., 1,234

---

Custom Transformers

For advanced cases, implement custom transformers for date and number localization.

import { DefaultDateTransformer, DefaultNumberTransformer } from '@jsverse/transloco-locale';

export class CustomDateTransformer extends DefaultDateTransformer {
  transform(date: Date, locale: string, options: DateFormatOptions): string {
    return super.transform(date, locale, options);
  }
}

export class CustomNumberTransformer extends DefaultNumberTransformer {
  transform(value: number, type: string, locale: string, options: Intl.NumberFormatOptions): string {
    return super.transform(value, type, locale, options);
  }
}

Provide these custom transformers:

provideTranslocoDateTransformer(CustomDateTransformer);
provideTranslocoNumberTransformer(CustomNumberTransformer);

---

Locale Format Options

The plugin supports extensive configuration for both numbers and dates, which can be set globally, locally, or at the pipe level. Full documentation for these options can be found in the Intl.DateTimeFormat and Intl.NumberFormat references.
