j18n

This plugin enables your rails i18n strings in your javascript.

Requirements

Rails3

Installation

In your Gemfile

gem 'j18n', :git => 'git://github.com/giniedp/j18n.git'

Then run

bundle install

and

rails generate j18n:install

This will generate (overwrite) an initializer at

config/initializers/j18n.rb

Modify that file with your settings

J18n.setup do |config|
  # Set the javascript output file path
  config.output_path = "public/javascripts/j18n.js"
  
  # If true, the javascript file will be generated on application startup
  config.build_on_boot = false
end

Include the javascript in your application layout or wherever you need the i18n

= javascript_include_tag 'j18n'

You can also use a generator to build the i18n file

rails generate j18n:regenerate

Usage

After you run the generator you can use the translate method in your javascript as you are used from rails

I18n.t("path.to.locale");

This will lookup a value at "en.path.to.locale". "en" is the default locale. If you want to change it, use

I18n.locale = "de";
