Angularjs and $locale

Question

Can I set $locale for some application manually?

Is it possible that only way to support locals is to include localization file from angular library for current locale. What if there are multiple cultures? In that case I have to load localization files dynamically? What am I missing?

Answer 1

You can load the locale you want into localStorage, then refresh the page. Have the script below load the i18n file you need. Changing the locale on the fly isn't supported yet.

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.3/angular.min.js"></script>
<script>
var locale = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('locale'));
if (locale) {
    document.write('<script src="scripts/i18n/angular-locale_'+locale+'.js"><\/script>');
}
</script>

Answer 2

I've built an angular module that takes care about i18n. AngularJS support for i18n is pretty primitve, if you want to have more control and also be more flexible, checkout angular-translate - http://angular-translate.github.io/

Let me know, if I can help out!
