initTranslations

initTranslations(domain, path): void

Defined in: api/node/typescript/index.ts:962 ↗

Initialize translations.

Call this with the path where translations are located. This function internally calls the bindtextdomain ↗ function from gettext.

Translations are expected to be found at //LC_MESSAGES/.mo, where path is the directory passed as an argument to this function, locale is a locale name (e.g., en, en_GB, fr), and domain is the package name.

Parameters

domain

string

defines the domain name e.g. name of the package.

path

string | URL

specifies the directory as string or as URL in which gettext should search for translations.

For example, assuming this is in a package called example and the default locale is configured to be French, it will load translations at runtime from “/path/to/example/translations/fr/LC_MESSAGES/example.mo`.

import * as slint from "slint-ui";
slint.initTranslations("example", new URL("translations/", import.meta.url));

Returns

void
