Usage

This module overrides a few core Monad packages and adds actual functionality to them.

The monadLanguageService supplied by this module actually does something, namely set or get the current language. It can (should!) also be configured via a hook to config in your custom admin code:

angular.module('myAwesomAdmin', ['monad-cms', 'monad-multilang'])
    .config(['monadLanguageServiceProvider', monadLanguageServiceProvider => {
        monadLanguageServiceProvider.setAvailableLanguages(['en', 'nl', 'fr', 'de']);
    }]);

The above example sets the available languages to English, Dutch, French and German, with English being the default (as it's mentioned first).

It also overrides the monadLocation service. This is still a bit of work in progress, but the idea is that all calls are auto-prefixed with the current language, the assumption being that /:language/other/path/parts/ is the sanest default for a multilingual admin. This way other plugin authors needn't worry about whether or not they're in a multilang environment, as long as they utilise the make method on monadLocation (path etc. use it internally too).
