supporting i18n

[flipflopsimsommer]

supporting multi language is something important for cms.

/config/i18n.js

module.exports.i18n = {
  // Which locales are supported?
  locales: ['en', 'de', 'it'],
  // Where are your locale translations located?
  localesDirectory: '/config/locales'
};

in your policie:

var locale = undefined;
if(typeof req.session.user == 'object' && typeof req.session.user.locale !== 'undefined'){
    locale = req.session.user.locale;
    sails.log.info('choos language in profile ' + locale);
}
return ok();

then you just use res.__('test')

enable autoupdate in lang.json file.

If balderdashy/sails accepts the pull, i think i could work this in

one problem i see is:

if the visitor to the website is not logged in as a user, the locale will never be set.

i hope the accept it soon, it's only 1 line and by default nothing chances. as i understand and combined with my code it would work something linke this

• it uses the defaultLocale in your i18n.js config file
• if sent it will use the http header: Accept-Language.
• if set it uses the session locale.

okey just realised i should past the defaultLocale as well i will make a new pull request sails
