## Javascript Usage
i18n in javascript works with mostly the same assumption as its PHP-equivalent.
The i18n system in JavaScript is similar to its PHP equivalent.
Languages are typically stored in `<my-module-dir>/javascript/lang`.
Unlike the PHP logic, these files aren't auto-discovered and have to be included manually.
### Requirements
Add the i18n library requirement to your code.
:::php
Requirements::javascript(FRAMEWORK_DIR . "/javascript/i18n.js");
Each language has its own language table in a separate file.
To save bandwidth, only three tables are actually loaded by
