PH.Babel2.Simple

PH.Babel2.Simple is a lightweight JSON-backed translation wrapper for applications that need direct string lookup without the full PH.Babel2 resource model.

Features

  • Thread-safe in-memory translations with ConcurrentDictionary
  • Lazy creation of missing keys and language entries
  • Singleton-friendly registration through AddBabelSimple
  • JSON persistence on Dispose()

JSON format

{
  "Hello": {
    "en": "Hello",
    "it": "Ciao"
  },
  "Welcome {0}": {
    "en": "Welcome {0}",
    "it": "Benvenuto {0}"
  }
}

Direct usage

using PH.Babel2.Simple;

using var translator = new Translator("translations.json");

var italian = translator.Get("Hello", "it");
var welcome = translator.Get("Welcome {0}", "en", "John");

ASP.NET dependency injection

using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddBabelSimple("translations.json");

Behavior notes

Note about key-as-fallback string

The key used to retrieve a message is also the fallback string — the text in the application's primary language. If a key is missing from the JSON file, the Translator automatically inserts it and uses the key text as the default translation for the primary language. This simplifies source usage: you can use the message text itself as the localization key (for example "Welcome {0}"), so if a translation for the requested culture is missing the original message will still be shown.

Examples

JSON (after a missing key is auto-added):

{
  "Welcome {0}": {
    "en": "Welcome {0}",
    "it": "_"
  }
}

C# usage:

using var translator = new Translator("translations.json");

// Key is the message itself; missing entries are handled automatically
var msgEn = translator.Get("Welcome {0}", "en", "John");    // "Welcome John"
var msgIt = translator.Get("Welcome {0}", "it", "Giovanni"); // formats fallback -> "Welcome Giovanni" if 'it' is '_'
  • Missing keys are added automatically.
  • Missing language values are stored with the _ placeholder.
  • When a value is _, the original input text is formatted and returned.
