simple-gae-localized

A more robust Google App Engine boilerplate with localization support based on the simplified, frontend focused, Simple-GAE-Boilerplate.

======================

The goal here is to allow for quick rollout of traditionally structured websites that need robust localization support. It's agile, simple, and powerful.

What it shares with Simple-GAE-Boilerplate

• Preconfigured App.yaml, handlers, and routes
• Set up for base handlers (universal/site wide handlers)
• Jinja2 templating
• HTML5 Boilerplate
  • js
    • jQuery 1.9.1 minimized
    • Modernizr 2.6.2 minimized
    • Respond1.1.0 minimized
  • css
    • Normalize
    • Normalize minimized
  • HTML
    • IE html tag classes
• Best practice App Engine folder structure

What's new!

• Localization support for text strings via ARB
  • this json like format is robust and works great with Google's Translator Toolkit
• Automatic url Mapping for supported languages
• Session saving for languague preference persistance
• Global and localized data variables for clean and easy seperation of translated content

What it still doesn't have:

• SASS/SCSS/LESS
• Database setup
