Ask HN: Advice on Writing Bilingual App?

1 pointcjohnson3184 comments

I can do something like `isEspanol ? Cosas : Things` everywhere, but I'd like to be able to support a third language at some point if I needed to. Does anyone have strong opinions about building an app for more than one language in a sane and sustainable way?

Have your text pulled from a database table and then key it by chosen language.

Okay, thanks!

The term you wanna look up is Localization

Oh, okay, cool. I thought that just referred to punctuation, and LTR vs RTL systems. Thank you!
