Language

The language class is defined in the ./language/index.js````and is used to access language strings defines as JSON files or Node Modules. SO you can create a file named en-US.json``` as follow:

{
    "error": "Error",
    "help": "Help Center"
}

And access it using:

var lang = require("./language").getDefault();
console.log(lang.help); // prints 'Help Center'

The default language is specified in the /config/general.js.

Methods

• get(lang):

  • lang: Language name. Example: for en-US.json, use 'en-US'

  Returns an object with the language strings from the JSON

• getDefault():

  Returns an object with the language strings from the JSON defined in the /config/general.js default language.

• val(string_id, [args,...]):

  • string_id: id for the language string to select from json.

  Example: en-US.json

  {
    "error": {
      "unknown": "Unknown error: %s"
    }
  }

  In the javascript, you can use val() as follows:

  var lang = require("./language");
  console.log(lang.val("error.unknown", "Sample error"));
  // prints: 'Unknown error: Sample error'
