Localization.js

Javascript platform for localization and globalization of documents, web pages, web applications et cetra.

Localization.js uses JSON-documents to store translations. A typical file structure of an app using Localization.js would be:

 locale/ 
 	config.json
 	en-us/
 		login.json
 	no-nb/
 		login.json
 app.js

##Usage localization.js is rather lightweight and easy to setup.

1. Create a new instance var lang = new Localization();
2. Initialize the instance Localization.initialize(config_path, completedCallback);
3. Set locale lang.setLocale(language);
4. Load modules lang.loadModule(module_filename, callback);
5. Start processing text lang.processContent(data, variableArray);

For more, please see the example of usage (below).

###Example of usage The following example is from one of my hybrid web apps.

app.js

var lang = new Localization();
lang.initialize('locale/config.json', function(){
    //Initialized     
    lang.setLocale('no-nb'); //e.g. "en-us"
    
    lang.loadModule('login.json', function(){
        //Loaded
	
		//Fetch some data over ajax	
		$.get('./login.html', function(data){
		
			//Convert content to language
			data = lang.processContent(data, [
			    'login_title',
			    'login_email_placeholder',
			    'login_password_placeholder',
			    'login_button_text',
			    'login_not_a_member_text',
			    'login_sign_up'
			]);
			
			$('#pre-login').html(data);
			login.bindings();
		});
	 
	 	//end lang.loadModule		
    });
    //end lang.initialize
});

./locale/config.json (localization.js configuration file)

{
    "supported_locales": ["no-nb", "en-us"]
}

./locale/en-us/login.json (English American language file)

{
    "title": "login",
    "content": {
        "login_title": "Login",
        "login_email_placeholder": "E-mail",
        "login_password_placeholder": "Password",
        "login_button_text": "Login",
        "login_not_a_member_text": "Not a member?",
        "login_sign_up": "Sign up"
    }
}

./locale/no-nb/login.json (Norwegian language file)

{
    "title": "login",
    "content": {
        "login_title": "Innlogging",
        "login_email_placeholder": "E-post",
        "login_password_placeholder": "Passord",
        "login_button_text": "Logg inn",
        "login_not_a_member_text": "Ikke medlem?",
        "login_sign_up": "Opprett bruker"
