JavaScript Localization

The recommended I18N library for Enyo apps is enyo-ilib: https://github.com/enyojs/enyo-ilib Documentation for iLib itself is at http://sourceforge.net/p/i18nlib/wiki/iLib%20-%20an%20internationalization%20library%20written%20in%20Javascript/

As you work on apps, wrap every UI string in $L(). Enyo defines it as a no-op, so it's safe to use, even before enyo-ilib is added to the app. enyo-ilib aliases it to the localization function.

Do *not* concatenate strings with parameters. Use enyo.macroize Example:

enyo.macroize($L('Found {$num} items.'), {num: 42});
