|
## Locales
|
||
|
|
All locale files live under `config/locales`. Here is where you can add translations
|
||
|
|
as JSON key-value pairs. The name of the file should match the language that you are supporting, which allows for automatic language detection based on request headers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is an example locale stringfile for the Spanish language (`config/locales/es.json`):
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"Hello!": "Hola!",
|
||
|
|
"Hello %s, how are you today?": "¿Hola %s, como estas?",
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
Locales can be accessed in controllers/policies through `res.i18n()`, or in views through the `__(key)` or `i18n(key)` functions.
|
||
|
|
Remember that the keys are case sensitive and require exact key matches, e.g.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ejs
|
||
|
|
<h1> <%= __('Welcome to PencilPals!') %> </h1>
|
||
|
|
<h2> <%= i18n('Hello %s, how are you today?', 'Pencil Maven') %> </h2>
|
||
|
|
<p> <%= i18n('That\'s right-- you can use either i18n() or __()') %> </p>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Configuration
|
||
|
|
Localization/internationalization config can be found in `config/i18n.js`, from where you can set your supported locales.
