i18n Service

Many pieces of ember-i18n rely on the service:i18n. Ask for it wherever you need (likely in Routes and Components):

// app/routes/post.js

export default Ember.Object.extend({
  i18n: Ember.inject.service(),

  afterModel: function(post) {
    document.title = this.get('i18n').t('title.post', { post: post });
  }
});

Please note that Ember.inject.service() is lazy, so you won't be able to observe things (e.g. i18n.locale) until you cause it to be looked up via this.get('i18n'). See #299.

If you find yourself needing it in many places, you can declare an injection:

// app/initializers/i18n.js

export default {
  name: 'i18n',

  after: 'ember-i18n',

  initialize: function(app) {
    app.inject('model', 'i18n', 'service:i18n')
  }
};

If you want the service injected into everything, you can avoid the initializer code by installing ember-i18n-inject.

List Available Locales (v4.1.0+)

To get a list of available locales:

var locales = this.get('i18n.locales');

This can be useful if you want to create a menu of alternate locales to the user.
