Localization

[manekinekko]

One of Drupal's big features is localization, and so we want the labels, buttons, etc. to appear in a visitor's proper language. Drupal provides a PHP function (t()), a JS function (Drupal.t()), and a Twig filter (|t) to localize UI text. If this project wants to render any UI text through some other means, it needs to integrate it with one of these.

Reading some documentation on JS files I've found this:

/**
 * Variable generated by Drupal that holds all translated strings from PHP.
 *
 * Content of this variable is automatically created by Drupal when using the
 * Interface Translation module. It holds the translation of strings used on
 * the page.
 *
 * This variable is used to pass data from the backend to the frontend. Data
 * contained in `drupalSettings` is used during behavior initialization.
 *
 * @global
 *
 * @var {object} drupalTranslations
 */

But it seems that drupalTranslations is always undefined. I think that something must be wrong with my setup.

You can find this docs in this file: https://github.com/manekinekko/angular2-drupal/blob/master/core/misc/drupal.js#L17

You need to install the locale module and add additional languages.

If you'd instead base this off of https://github.com/acquia/js-exploration/tree/js-exploration-base, you'd get all of that set up automatically for you.
