I want to use a internationalization option at my jQuery Mobile and jQuery webside. I tried to generate an example with the documentation on http://i18next.com but it seems
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Basic Sample Usage</title>
<script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/i18next.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h3> you can switch lng via ?setLng='lngTag' </h3>
<a id="en" href="?setLng=en"> en </a>
|
<a id="de" href="?setLng=de"> de </a>
<h3>loaded via attribute 'data-i18n' and $('.nav').i18n();</h3>
<h5>basic text</h5>
<ul class="nav">
<li class="active"><a href="#" id = "navy" data-i18n="nav.home"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" data-i18n="nav.1"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" data-i18n="nav.2"></a></li>
</ul>
<button id="btn" data-i18n="ns.common:add"></button>
<h5>extended usage of 'data-i18n' - apply to other attributes</h5>
<div id="extendedAttr">
<input data-i18n="[placeholder]ns.common:attr.placeholder;" type="text"></input>
<button data-i18n="[title]ns.common:attr.title;btn.hoverMe;"></button>
</div>
<script>
$.i18n.init({
//lng: 'en',
ns: { namespaces: ['ns.common', 'ns.special'], defaultNs: 'ns.special'},
useLocalStorage: false,
debug: true
}, function(t) {
//$('#navy').i18n(); for single
$('.nav').i18n(); // for group
$('#btn').i18n();
$('#extendedAttr').i18n();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
locales/en/ns.special.json <=> make same for de/ns.speacial.json
{
"nav": {
"home": "en home",
"1": "en link 1",
"2": " en link 2"
},
"btn": {
"hoverMe": "en hover me!"
}
}
and locales/de/ns.common.json <=> make same for en/ns.speacial.json
{
"app": {
"company": {
"name": "my company"
}
},
"attr": {
"placeholder": "de translated placeholder",
"title": "translated title"
},
"add": "de add"
}
Main problem is you can't call i18n.t("menu.surname", { defaultValue: "Name:"});
directly after initialization, as loading the resources from server is async, so basically you try to translate before i18next fetched the resources.
Instead load it with callback:
$(document).ready(function(){
language_complete = navigator.language.split("-");
language = (language_complete[0]);
console.log("Sprache (root): %s", language);
i18n.init({ lng: language, debug: true }, function() {
// save to use translation function as resources are fetched
$(".menu").i18n();
$("headline").i18n();
});
});
or use flag to load resources synchron.
By the way:
Your html code has one closing </div>
too many.
The call to $("headline").i18n();
should be $("#headline").i18n();
.
