Localize Strings in Javascript

Question

I\'m currently using .resx files to manage my server side resources for .NET.

Answer 1

Well, I think that you can consider this. English-Spanish example:

Write 2 Js Scripts, like that:

en-GB.js
lang = {
    date_message: 'The start date is incorrect',
    ...
};
es-ES.js
lang = {
    date_message: 'Fecha de inicio incorrecta',
    ...
};

Server side - code behind:

Protected Overrides Sub InitializeCulture()
    Dim sLang As String 
    sLang = "es-ES" 

    Me.Culture = sLang
    Me.UICulture = sLang
    Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude(sLang & ".js", "../Scripts/" & sLang & ".js")

    MyBase.InitializeCulture()
End Sub

Where sLang could be "en-GB", you know, depending on current user's selection ...

Javascript calls:

alert (lang.date_message);

And it works, very easy, I think.
