Js Translations

There are some circustamces in which Baton will print to screen some js message. Baton detects the user locale and will localize such messages, but it comes with just en and it translations provided.

Important

Baton retrieves the current user locale from the lang attribute of the html tag.

However you can provide or add your own translations by attaching an object to the Baton namespace:

// these are the default translations, you can just edit the one you need, or add some locales. Baton engione will always
// pick up your custom translation first, if it find them.
// you can define thi object before Baton.init in the base_site template
Baton.translations = {
  unsavedChangesAlert: 'You have some unsaved changes.',
  uploading: 'Uploading...',
  filter: 'Filter',
  close: 'Close',
  save: 'Save',
  search: 'Search',
  cannotCopyToClipboardMessage: 'Cannot copy to clipboard, please do it manually: Ctrl+C, Enter',
  retrieveDataError: 'There was an error retrieving the data',
  lightTheme: 'Light theme',
  darkTheme: 'Dark theme',
}

Important

Just use the trans templatetag to deal with multilanguage web applications

If Baton can’t find the translations for the user locale, it will default to en. Keep in mind that Baton will use en translations for all en-xx locales, but of course you can specify your custom translations!
