Manually load 'string'

[Toverbal]

I guess this is more a feature request, but I'll post it here anyway :). I need to localize a web page, but it does not only contain html elements that need translation, there are also some dynamic div's, alerts and prompts. From what I have read it is not possible to do something like loading the localization normally (which localizes all elements on the page) and then after they are loaded use e.g. alert($.localize.load("msg_are_you_sure")) , which will use the last loaded localization. I figured I could use hidden inputs to store all these messages, but the approach I suggested might be more comfortable.

I'm sorry if I overlooked an existing feature here...

It could also come in handy for formatting strings. Often a localization string contains something like 'You currently have %s items in your basket'.

Hi Jori - assuming the default callback is used, you can access all of the language data via $.localize.data. You can use that to access localized strings at runtime.

Thanks for the quick response and that's just perfect for my situation, so thanks!

Hi @coderifous. How can I do that if the translations file are in a subdirectory?

This is not working by the "/":

<script>
    $("[data-localize]").localize("locales/messages", { language: "es" });
    console.log($.localize.data.locales/messages.search);
</script>

In the root path is working (But I'd like the messages in a subdirectory):

<script>
    $("[data-localize]").localize("messages", { language: "es" });
    console.log($.localize.data.messages.search);
</script>

Or if I want to translate a string with spaces, like "My string"?

{
  "My string": "Mi señal"
}

Thanks in advance and for your great plugin!

I'm so sorry :) I found it:

    console.log($.localize.data["locales/messages"]["My String"]);

A hug and thanks again :)
