How To Add A New Locale

Here are the instructions to add a new locale in your app. We are taken an example of German that we are going to add.

Create ge.json file under the directory lang->ge.jsonthat you have just created and define the static strings which you want translate into German, you can check the other locale files how strings are defined.

ge.json

{
   "general": "Allgemeines",
   "overview": "Überblick",
}

Add new "ge" variable in app.js file

app.js

app.use(i18n({
   translationsPath: path.join(__dirname, 'lang'), // <--- use here. Specify translations files path.
   siteLangs: ["ar","en","cn","fr","he","es","ru","ge"], // add new locales
   cookieLangName : 'ulang',
   browserEnable : 'true',
   textsVarName: 'translation'  
}));

Now you need to add your locale inside the data.js file under the routes-> data.js directory.

data.js

...
exports.languages = [{
                        name: "English",
                        icon: "en"
                     },{
                        name: "French",
                        icon: "fr"
                     },{
                        name: "Hebrew",
                        icon: "he"
                     },{
                        name: "Russian",
                        icon: "ru"
                     },
                     // your locale goes to here
                     {
                        name: "German",
                        icon: "ge"
                     }
                  ]       
...
