Locale.AutoUse

Locale.AutoUse searches for a lang attribute, which is usually at the html tag of a document. If a language is found and defined by Locale it will set this as default language of the page. You can also choose to get the language of the visitor.

This plugin is an extension for Locale in MooTools More 1.3.

How To Use

Include the Locale.AutoUse.js file in your page or build.

Function: Locale.AutoUse

It is possible to use Locale.AutoUse manually.

Locale.AutoUse(selector, attributeName, ua);

Arguments

• selector - (string, defaults *[lang]) Any CSS selector Slick supports. If you set this to navigator it will use the visitors language.
• attributeName - (string, defaults lang) The attribute name which contains the Language code.
• ua - (boolean) Set this argument to true if you want to use the visitors language instead of the lang attribute. Passing the navigator object to the first argument will do the same.

Return

• Locale Instance

Examples

Locale.AutoUse();

// Search for another tag instead of the `html` tag
Locale.AutoUse('div#languageDefinition');

// Don't use the lang attribute, but the `data-lang` attribute
Locale.AutoUse('div[data-lang]', 'data-lang');

// Use the language defined by the visitors browser
Locale.AutoUse(navigator);

// Another way
Locale.AutoUse(null, null, true);

Notes:

• As of version 0.2 you have to run the Locale.AutoUse function manually.
