About

• Helps you work with translations using existing word dictionaries
• Has functionality for working with numerical cases of words
• Has the ability to modify words from the dictionary

Vocabulary

// vocabularies/vehicles.js

module.exports = {
    // UKRAINIAN, LITHUANIAN, POLISH, CZECH, ENGLISH
    car: ['автомобіль', 'automobilis', 'samochód', 'auto', 'car'],
    cars: [
        // UKRAINIAN
        ['автомобіль', 'автомобілі', 'автомобілів'],
        // LITHUANIAN
        ['automobilis', 'automobiliai', 'automobilių'],
        // POLISH
        ['samochód', 'samochody', 'samochodów'],
        // CZECH
        ['auto', 'auta', 'aut'],
        // ENGLISH
        ['car', 'cars', 'cars'],
    ],
}

Pay attention to the sequence of translations you set up in your vocabulary

Using

const { translate, dictionary } = require('dictionary-translator');

const { TRANSLATOR_IDS, LANG_IDS, TEST_COUNTS } = require('./constants/translator');
const VEHICLES_VOCABULARY = require('./vocabularies/vehicles');

// essentially define the index of the language we need
const TRANSLATOR_ID = TRANSLATOR_IDS[LANG_IDS.UKRAINIAN];

// Using a method to work as if with a translator instance (I recommend using this method)
const translator = dictionary(VEHICLES_VOCABULARY, TRANSLATOR_ID);

console.log(translator('car'));
console.log(`${TEST_COUNTS.ONE} ${translator('cars', TEST_COUNTS.ONE)}`);
console.log(`${TEST_COUNTS.FIFTY_ONE} ${translator('cars', TEST_COUNTS.FIFTY_ONE)}`);
console.log(`${TEST_COUNTS.THREE} ${translator('cars', TEST_COUNTS.THREE)}`);
console.log(`${TEST_COUNTS.SEVENTEEN} ${translator('cars', TEST_COUNTS.SEVENTEEN)}`);
// used 'capitalize' modifier
console.log(`${TEST_COUNTS.NINETY_NINE} ${translator('cars', TEST_COUNTS.NINETY_NINE, 'capitalize')}`);

// Using the direct method for translation (better to use when there are several words in the vocabulary)
console.log(translate(VEHICLES_VOCABULARY, 'car', TRANSLATOR_ID));
console.log(`${TEST_COUNTS.ONE} ${translate(vocabulary, 'cars', TRANSLATOR_ID, TEST_COUNTS.ONE)}`);
console.log(`${TEST_COUNTS.FIFTY_ONE} ${translate(vocabulary, 'cars', TRANSLATOR_ID, TEST_COUNTS.FIFTY_ONE)}`);
console.log(`${TEST_COUNTS.THREE} ${translate(vocabulary, 'cars', TRANSLATOR_ID, TEST_COUNTS.THREE)}`);
console.log(`${TEST_COUNTS.SEVENTEEN} ${translate(vocabulary, 'cars', TRANSLATOR_ID, TEST_COUNTS.SEVENTEEN)}`);
// used 'capitalize' modifier
console.log(`${TEST_COUNTS.NINETY_NINE} ${translate(vocabulary, 'cars', TRANSLATOR_ID, TEST_COUNTS.NINETY_NINE, 'capitalize')}`);

What we get in the end (as you can see, the result is the same for both methods translate and dictionary):
