esperskripto

library0.0.2jsnpmunverified

A multilingual transpiler for JavaScript that allows writing code in Simplified Chinese (Mandarin) and Esperanto. v0.0.2 is the latest release as of early 2024, with sporadic maintenance. It transpiles Chinese or Esperanto keywords and built-in function names (e.g., 控制台.记录 -> console.log) to standard JavaScript. Unlike usual i18n tools, it directly renames keywords and identifiers, not just UI strings. Still experimental, with limited language support and no advanced features like module translation or type checking.

✗ require('esperskripto')

This is a CLI tool, not a library. Install globally or use npx.

Transpiles a JavaScript file written in Esperanto or Chinese keywords to standard JavaScript using the CLI.

// Create a file 'test.eo' with Esperanto JavaScript: // funkcio provuIomete(){ // por(jen i=0;i<5;++i){ // konzolo.protokolu(i); // } // } // provuIomete(); // Then run: // npx esperskripto test.eo // Or for Chinese: // Create 'test.zh.js' with: // 函数试一试(){ // 对于(让甲=0;甲<5;++甲) { // 控制台.记录(甲); // } // } // 试一试(); // Run: npx esperskripto -l zh-cmn-Hans test.zh.js

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe transpiler only handles built-in keywords and globals (like console, function, for, let). Custom identifiers and strings are left untranslated.

fix

Use only predefined keyword translations. Do not attempt to translate variable or function names automatically.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThe file extension is not automatically detected; you must provide the correct language option via -l flag for Chinese, or Esperanto is default? Actually, Esperanto is default if no -l given.

fix

Always explicitly specify -l eo or -l zh-cmn-Hans to avoid ambiguity.

affects: >=0.0.1

breakingv0.0.2 may have breaking changes from v0.0.1; version range unspecific.

fix

Test translation output before relying on it.

affects: >=0.0.2

gotchaThe CLI transpiles a file in-place? No, it outputs to stdout. Overwrite must be done manually.

fix

Redirect output: esperskripto file.js > output.js

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'esperskripto'

CLI not installed globally or npx not used.

npm install -g esperskripto or use npx esperskripto

SyntaxError: Unexpected token

Ensure all keywords are from the supported language set (e.g., 函数, 对于, 控制台.记录 or funkcio, por, konzolo.protokolu). Check for typos.
