@dipser/wmlang.js

Translate weekdays and months with "Intl", which is included by your browser. It is a really minimal approach.

Install

npm i @dipser/wmlang.js

Usage

<script type="module">
import { weekday, month } from './index.js';
console.log( weekday(1, 'de') ); // => Montag
</script>

Examples

How it works

Since browsers have implemented Intl, they have language support date output. See caniuse.com/Intl. To use weekdays and months names for different things, we just need to select a Intl date and get the format of a weekday or month.

function month(month, locale = 'en') {
    let intl = new Intl.DateTimeFormat(locale, { month: 'long' });
    return intl.format( new Date(1970, Number(month) - 1, 1) );
}
month(2, 'de'); // => Februar
