Internationalization

Currently, Schulbuchaktion only supports English and German. For translations, we make use of the vue i18n library and corresponding nuxt module.

Translating

Locales can be found in /frontend/locales. In this directory is a JSON file for each language. Short forms are used to identify a language, e.g. en-US.json.

Adding a new language

This is done very simply by just adding a new file in the /locales directory. You can copy the en-US.json file and replace the fields.

Next, you must add the language to the currentLocales (/frontend/config/i18n.ts) array:

export const currentLocales: LocaleObject[] = [
  {
    code: "en-US",
    file: "en-US.json",
    name: "English",
  },
  {
    code: "de-DE",
    file: "de-DE.json",
    name: "Deutsch",
  },
  { 
    code: "jp-JP", 
    file: "jp-JP.json", 
    name: "日本語", 
  }, 
]
