## Content

| ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| [Translate Text](../localize/text.md) | Load and translate text in multiple languages |
| [Format Numbers](../localize/numbers.md) | Format numbers in multiple languages |
| [Format Dates](../localize/dates.md) | Format dates in multiple languages |
## Installation
```bash
npm i --save @lion/localize
```
```js
import { localize } from '@lion/localize';
```
### Example
The locale which will be loaded by default is accessed via the `localize.locale`.
The single source of truth for page's locale is `<html lang="my-LOCALE">`.
At the same time the interaction should happen via `localize.locale` getter/setter to be able to notify and react to the change.
```js
import { localize } from '@lion/localize.js';
localize.addEventListener('localeChanged', () => {
// do smth when data is loaded for a new locale
});
// changes locale, syncs to `<html lang="es-ES">` and fires the event above
localize.locale = 'es-ES';
```
