FBT is an internationalization framework for JavaScript designed to be not just powerful and flexible, but also simple and intuitive. It helps with the following:
- Organizing your source text for translation
- Composing grammatically correct translatable UI
- Eliminating verbose boilerplate for generating UI

Requirements
Building the fbt library
git clone [email protected]:facebook/fbt.git
cd fbt
yarn install
NOTE: if you make changes to the fbt runtime that you'd like to test in the demo-app, be sure to run this command to rebuild the JS code:
yarn build-runtime
Using fbt
See how to use the source directly with Babel and Webpack in our demo-app.
How FBT works
FBT works by transforming your <fbt> and fbt(...) constructs via
Babel plugins. These plugins serve to extract strings from source and
lookup translated payloads generated at build-time. FBT creates tables
of all possible variations for the given fbt phrase and accesses this
at runtime.
