CONFIGURE YOUR LOCALES

Configure your ODAMAP locales

What you have to know

You can set several languages for your ODAMAP instance. After having set in the .env file which languages you want to use, the files contained in the frontend/locales folder will allow you to translate the default fields of nuxt components (or new ones if you add some to your code).

ODAMAP uses the nuxt i18n module to internationalize your instance.

ODAMAP frontend/locales folder’s location and structure

└─── locales
    │ ... <locale-LOCALE>.js
    │ ... <LOCALE>.json

The locales files structure

file : <locale-LOCALE>.js

This is just a file which need to contain something like :

  export default require('./<LOCALE>.json')

file : <LOCALE>.json

This is a JSON file which need to contain the field / nested fields of the texts i18n will translate each time it will be activated in a nuxt component.

For instance when in a vue component you’ll cross :

$t('my.nested.field', locale)

It will fetch the value in your JSON locale file <LOCALE>.json:

{
  "my" : {
    "nested": {
      "field": "My translation into <LOCALE> language"
    }
  }
}
