How to switch the i18n language translation programmatically

[jke.s...@googlemail.com]

Hi,

we've provide web content where the user can select the language of the interface. However, the WebViewer does not follow this change. So basically if the user decides to read an pdf/xod in es we would like to change to the i18n es translation of the control-tool-tips and other labeling.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks,
Jens

Hi Jens,

You could take a look at the internationalization sample included in the WebViewer download (samples/i18n/config.js is the file you'll want to look at or hosted here).

Basically you'll just need to call:

i18n.setLng('es', function() {
    $('body').i18n();
});

Hey Matt,

 

thanks for your reply. I must have overlooked this. It works fine.

 

Kind regards,

Dear Matt,

how can I add additional languages, as German. I created a translation-de.json file in i18n folder and tried to switch to language 'de'. But the viewer keeps showing English version. Do I need to register the language somewhere?

Thank you.

Dear Matt.

OK, for some reason it works now. German labels are working. Seems it was a caching issue... Sorry for that.
Are you interested in the german translation file?

Regards Kai
