Switching language at runtime.

[crystalbyte]

Hey,

I am currently working on a localized single page application using angular2.
Is there a way to switch the language of select2 without reinitializing the control ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Select2 does not support the ability to change options dynamically, so it is not possible to change the language without reinitializing Select2.

This is a duplicate of #2830 (comment).

Thanks, is there anything we need to take care of before reinitializing the control, any cleanup ?

You can cleanly destroy Select2 by calling select2('destroy'). You likely won't see any issues from there unless you are using the data option, which will re-create the options.
