Get Started

Follow the steps below to start:

1. Install the script

Link

<script src="path/languages.min.js"></script>

CDN

<script src="https://unpkg.com/languages-js@latest/languages.min.js"></script>

NPM

npm install languages-js --save

Yarn

yarn add languages-js

Bower

bower install languages-js

2. Import :

const Languages = require('languages-js')

or ES6

import Languages from 'languages-js'

3. Directory structure

• languages
  • fr_FR.json
  • en_EN.json
  • ...
• script.js

4. Initialize languages

Languages.init(id, [path], [callback]);

• id {Array or String} : Identifier of the language in the JSON file.

id format :

ISO-639 + _ + ISO-3166
Language Code + "_" + Country Code

Example :

• fr_FR
• en_EN
• en_US

If only ISO-639 (en, fr, jp, etc.) :

• fr : fr_FR
• en : en_EN

• path : Path to the folder JSON files.
• callback (optional) : Function called when the JSON file is loaded

Example :

Languages.init(['fr_FR'], './languages/', () => {
  // is loaded
});

If the type of id is an array, language is the browser among the identifiers of the array. If it is not found in the array, the first element of the array will be the default language

5. To translate a sentence, use the identifier with the function t() in the callback function :

Languages.init(['fr_FR'], './languages/', () => {
    'hello'.t() // Bonjour
});
