What you're looking for is $locale.
There is actually an example about half way down the angularjs homepage as well.
A snippet from their example:
function BeerCounter($scope, $locale) {
$scope.beers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
if ($locale.id == 'en-us') {
$scope.beerForms = {
0: 'no beers',
one: '{} beer',
other: '{} beers'
};
} else {
$scope.beerForms = {
0: 'žiadne pivo',
one: '{} pivo',
few: '{} pivá',
other: '{} pív'
};
}
}
I'm not sure if it's a "standard" per say... but it's a start. If you had a lot of localization to do, I think I would just create a service to inject in my controllers... something like this psuedo-code:
app.service('myLocalization', ['$locale', function($locale) {
var res = {
'help' : {
'en-us': 'help',
'es-mx': 'ayudame'
},
'beer' : {
'en-us': 'beer',
'es-mx': 'cerveza'
}
}
return {
getString: function(key) {
return res[key][$locale.id];
}
}
});
