Localization (and externalization) of strings for Firefox OS Web Apps for multiple language support

[Aitor Mendaza Ormaza]

Hi to everyone:
I'm new to Firefox OS app development, and I come from Android development. I was wondering if there is a way to localize text of applications in a similar way as it is done in Android (one file for each language).
I was looking on internet, but I only found this:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.navigator.language

if ( window.navigator.language != "en" ) {
doLangSelect(window.navigator.language);
}

And I see it is quite easy. My question is, how the doLangSelect should be implemented? Is there an easy way in firefox OS apps? or a best practices?

Thanks for your help
Best Regards!

Hi Aitor,

Firefox OS built-in applications are using this:
https://github.com/fabi1cazenave/webL10n

I would highly recommend you to use that library if you want to handle
l10n in your application context.

Cheers,
