Introduction
This is a i18next language detection plugin use to detect user language in the browser with support for:
- cookie (set cookie i18next=LANGUAGE)
- localStorage (set key i18nextLng=LANGUAGE)
- navigator (set browser language)
- querystring (append
?lng=LANGUAGEto URL) - htmlTag (add html language tag <html lang="LANGUAGE" ...)
- path (http://my.site.com/LANGUAGE/...)
- subdomain (http://LANGUAGE.site.com/...)
Getting started
Source can be loaded via npm, bower or downloaded from this repo.
# npm package
$ npm install i18next-browser-languagedetector
# bower
$ bower install i18next-browser-languagedetector
- If you don't use a module loader it will be added to
window.i18nextBrowserLanguageDetector
Wiring up:
1import i18next from 'i18next'; 2import LanguageDetector from 'i18next-browser-languagedetector'; 3 4i18next 5 .use(LanguageDetector) 6 .init(i18nextOptions);
As with all modules you can either pass the constructor function (class) to the i18next.use or a concrete instance.
Detector Options
1{ 2 // order and from where user language should be detected 3 order: ['querystring', 'cookie', 'localStorage', 'navigator', 'htmlTag', 'path', 'subdomain'], 4 5 // keys or params to lookup language from 6 lookupQuerystring: 'lng', 7 lookupCookie: 'i18next', 8 lookupLocalStorage: 'i18nextLng', 9 lookupFromPathIndex: 0, 10 lookupFromSubdomainIndex: 0, 11 12 // cache user language on 13 caches: ['localStorage', 'cookie'], 14 excludeCacheFor: ['cimode'], // languages to not persist (cookie, localStorage) 15 16 // optional expire and domain for set cookie 17 cookieMinutes: 10, 18 cookieDomain: 'myDomain', 19 20 // optional htmlTag with lang attribute, the default is: 21 htmlTag: document.documentElement, 22 23 // only detect languages that are in the whitelist 24 checkWhitelist: true, 25 26 // fallback to a similar whitelist language 27 // Example 1: Browser language is 'es' 28 // if 'es' is not found in whitelist, first fallback to any whitelist language that starts with 'es-', then fallback to fallbackLng ('es' -> 'es-*' -> fallbackLng) 29 // Example 2: Browser language is 'es-MX' 30 // if 'es-MX' is not found in whitelist, first fallback to 'es', then fallback to 'es-*', then fallback to fallbackLng ('es-MX' -> 'es' -> 'es-*' -> fallbackLng) 31 checkForSimilarInWhitelist: false, 32 33 // optional set cookie options, reference:[MDN Set-Cookie docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie) 34 cookieOptions: {path:'/'} 35}
Options can be passed in:
preferred - by setting options.detection in i18next.init:
1import i18next from 'i18next'; 2import LanguageDetector from 'i18next-browser-languagedetector'; 3 4i18next 5 .use(LanguageDetector) 6 .init({ 7 detection: options 8 });
on construction:
1 import LanguageDetector from 'i18next-browser-languagedetector'; 2 const languageDetector = new LanguageDetector(null, options);
via calling init:
1 import LanguageDetector from 'i18next-browser-languagedetector'; 2 const languageDetector = new LanguageDetector(); 3 lngDetector.init(options);
Adding own detection functionality
interface
1export default { 2 name: 'myDetectorsName', 3 4 lookup(options) { 5 // options -> are passed in options 6 return 'en'; 7 }, 8 9 cacheUserLanguage(lng, options) { 10 // options -> are passed in options 11 // lng -> current language, will be called after init and on changeLanguage 12 13 // store it 14 } 15};
adding it
1 import LanguageDetector from 'i18next-browser-languagedetector'; 2 const languageDetector = new LanguageDetector(); 3 languageDetector.addDetector(myDetector); 4 5 i18next 6 .use(languageDetector) 7 .init({ 8 detection: options 9 });
Don't forget: You have to add the name of your detector (myDetectorsName in this case) to the order array in your options object. Without that, your detector won't be used. See the Detector Options section for more.
