This plugin is no longer needed to make ng2-translate work with NativeScript. Instead you can use it as normal following this as a guide to set it up:
https://github.com/NathanWalker/nativescript-ng2-translate/issues/5#issuecomment-257606661
npm install nativescript-ng2-translate --save
You can create these anywhere in your app but let's say you create an assets
folder and in that an i18n
folder so:
app/assets/i18n
folderThen in there, create translation files, for example:
en.json
(English):
{
"HOME": "Home"
}
es.json
(Spanish):
{
"HOME": "Casa"
}
app.ts
:import {nativeScriptBootstrap} from 'nativescript-angular/application';
// angular
import {Component, provide} from 'angular2/core';
import {HTTP_PROVIDERS} from 'angular2/http';
// libs
import {TranslateLoader, TranslateService, TranslatePipe} from 'ng2-translate/ng2-translate';
import {TNSTranslateLoader} from 'nativescript-ng2-translate/nativescript-ng2-translate';
@Component({
selector: 'app',
template: `
<StackLayout>
<Label [text]="'HOME' | translate"></Label>
</StackLayout>
`,
pipes: [TranslatePipe]
})
class TestComponent {}
nativeScriptBootstrap(TestComponent, [
HTTP_PROVIDERS,
provide(TranslateLoader, {
useFactory: () => {
// pass in the path to your locale files
return new TNSTranslateLoader('assets/i18n');
}
}),
TranslateService
]);
TNS
stands for Telerik NativeScript
iOS uses classes prefixed with NS
(stemming from the NeXTSTEP days of old):
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSString_Class/
To avoid confusion with iOS native classes, TNS
is used instead.
