Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Multitongue

Show only the language of the user on a multilingual page, using javascript.

How It Works

Write your content in all your languages. Start a content block with a block delimiter (....) and end it with the same delimiter. Within the content block separate your languages with a separating delimiter (..).

Multitongue looks for content blocks and removes from the page (DOM) all the content not of the choosen language.

To use multitongue reference it with the <script> tag. This is usually either within the <head> tag or at the end of your page, but before the closing </body> tag.

What's Good

  • many languages, can handle as you feel confortable putting on one page
  • any language, whatever you can encode in HTML
  • fast, blink and a typical page will be reduced to the choosen language
  • small
    • less than 2.7 KB of minified code for bare minimum
    • 4.5 KB of minified code for batteries included setup that picks language based on browser's language, and provides option for user to change the language.
  • modular design
  • customizable delimiters
  • easy to implement
  • easy to modify content
  • easy to compare content across languages

What's Bad

  • Search engine results may show the delimiters in the search result. For instance Google.
  • Jitter may happen as the page loads

Usage

Get this repository:

git clone https://github.com/dvalentiate/multitongue.git
cd multitongue

Build the minimized version and examples:

npm install

Including It On Your Page

See examples in your build/examples directory, particularly squarespace-with-selector.html.

Prebuilt Version

For convenience I have created the Multitongue build repository that has the minimized versions of this project's various compoments.

Credit Where It Is Due

This project was inspired by the multilingualizer product/service of Affliate Web Designers. They seem like good folk. While extensive testing hasn't been done it is expected that this project improves on both the download size and page processing time over Multilingualizer.
