I am trying to internationalize my site, and one thing is to use different font-size for different languages. Also some text-images need to be replaced as well.
I th
Your best bet in organization is to have different style sheets specific to localization, then set up a condition in your layout on what style sheets to render based of the locale.
Just only put local specific style, and if you think about it...it shouldn't effect load times that much because I believe you are only changing font sizes.
UPDATE from OP:
Here is what I have configured to have this working:
locales
directory under app/assets/stylesheets
fr.sass
layouts/application.html.erb
to reference the css files:
<% if I18n.locale != :en %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "locales/" + I18n.locale.to_s %>
<% end %>
config/application.rb
config.assets.precompile += 'locales/*.css'
Note that I am white-listing the assets I want to compile into application.css
, so the locale specific styles will not get into the application.css
.
You could also use locale-specific class attributes in html rendered. I think that is better/easier way to achieve what you want. Putting css in public is not so nice.
I agree with Onno. I only needed very simple changes, so I added the locale as language tag, as described in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11577356/1822977
Html:
<html lang="<%= I18n.locale || 'en' %>">
Sass:
body {
font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
html[lang="jp"] & {
font-family:"ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3", "Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro", sans-serif;
}
}
