es6 tagged templates

[mustafa0x]

Thanks for this @K1DV5, looks impressive! I'm working on replacing paraglide with this in my projects (a few million visitors per month).

Question, I was reviewing the rules, and am worried that it'll require many considerations in the code to make sure what I want to be translated is, and what I don't isn't.

I know a custom heuristic can be written, but I'm curious if you've considered adding a template tag, to opt in to translations, eg

_`this will be translated`

and another option is some magic char, eg "※this will be translated"

Hi @mustafa0x, thanks for trying it out and bringing up the idea!

Tagged template strings were not extracted previously so I just made a new release that fixes this. You can upgrade wuchale to get it.

Now, both of your ideas are possible, you can choose whichever is better to you. For the tagged template idea, you can make the heuristic function:

function heuristic(msg) {
  return msg.details.call === '_'
}

And for your magic char idea:

function heuristic(msg) {
  return msg.msgStr[0].startsWith('※')
}

If you use a simple heuristic function like this, it will ignore everything else.
