Angular js support for localization [closed]


Take a look at angular-translate: https://github.com/angular-translate/angular-translate

for all DIY folks:

You can find localized files for angular: here

These files will help you with the build-in angular filters: date, currency and number. Amazing... so far.

Now you want to use your own texts, than all you need is the power of angular.js dependency injection.Create a new file like: "myTexts_en_us.js" and use $provide.value like this:

$provide.value("myTexts", {firstText : "This is my localized text"});

For details:

For real-world-use, you should add a filter:http://jsfiddle.net/4tRBY/41/

Tips:

  • Make sure to insert your new localization-file into your html by hand, JS or Server. (Server is the best choice here!)
  • if you include one of the angular-local files, you do not need to set it up in your app module. (you will have $locale automatically - see the fiddle)
  • add an id key to your $provide-value - and set the value to a language code you are using in your file - this will be come in handy for testing.


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];       }    }});


I've created a module specifically for localization purposes - https://github.com/4vanger/angular-l10nIt supports message localization, parameter substitutions, change locale on flight and provides number of handy ways to use it - filters, directives etc.
