I glanced at the README and found the two things that I dislike in general when it comes to i18n libraries:

- JSON is not flexible enough for complex languages
  (e. g. polish)
- retrieving of translation data should not be a concern of the library

@talyssonoc This criticism is not directed at _your_ library. It is a thing that bugs me in general.

My personal favourite for i18n is [newspeak] [0]. It is inspired by [Mozillas L20N project] [1].

I totally agree about the second point! I plan to add something like that in the future.

About the first one, I think I never worked with such a complex language like polish, could you elaborate and/or give some example?

I am not that familiar with the polish language but I know that their are complex rules for the spelling of nouns. It depends on the amount, gender and a few other things (I guess). JSON is too restrictive for that.

It's not only Polish. All slavic languages (including Russian, which is alone spoken by quarter billion) have such feature.

Oh, you’re right! And don’t forget about finnish and icelandic as well.
