CodeIgniter: Parse dynamic language captions located in javascript

Question

I have a javascript code that needs localisation, ie.

function js_proc() {
    var some_data = \'this text needs to be translated dynamically at runtime\';
}         


        

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "There are way too many js strings to be translated, so I can't pass every string as a variable", but if you are looking for some automatic parsing, this won't help.

But this may help others, so here goes.

For from ideal, I use a system like the following:

In my view, I add the localizations as JavaScript global variables, using the codeigniter languages support. Something like:

Then after that, usually,right after, I include the scripts that refernce the globals:

inside the script:

alert(noEmailError);

will show the localized text just fine.
