how to internationalize error messages in javascript?

Question

Our requirement is to internationalize the already running site which is using ATG framework. We have implemented the same in our JSP, however, we have static error/informative messages in javascript. We need to translate the messages as well.

Please suggest how can we translate the messages. For JSP, we declared translations in a property file and reading from there.

I don't think there is a whole lot you can do wrong here. What approach were you thinking about? — Halcyon, Mar 07 '16 at 12:21

We have somewhat similar requirement for which we have used jstl. It might help you :

<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %> 
<%@ page import="java.util.ResourceBundle"%>

Then under <head> <fmt:setBundle basename="global-messages" /> Set bundle takes name of the property file. global-messages-en or global-messages-hi are the property files which will contain labels of respective languages. We have custom implementation for that.

<title><fmt:message key="parameter.page.title"/></title>
<h1> here key="parameter.page.title" will be replaced by corresponding value of that key</h1>
</head>

We have already implemented the approach in JSP using resource bundle. We need to translate the messages in javascript. – zenith Mar 07 '16 at 12:55
Do you want translator in JavaScript? Please correct me if I am wrong. – Suyash Mar 07 '16 at 13:28
@Zenith instead of using a translator .you can store the messages in json and display it when needed. – Richard Elite Mar 21 '16 at 17:48
We created a jsp where we declared variables in json and loaded the file from script. Thanks @Manoj – zenith May 12 '16 at 04:03
