本地化Google Chrome Web应用

Question

I'm trying to add localization support to a Google Chrome Web App and, while it is easy to define strings for manifest and CSS files, it is somewhat more difficult for HTML pages.

In the manifest and in CSS files I can simply define localization strings like so:

__MSG_name__

but this doesn't work with HTML pages.

I can make a JavaScript function to fire onload that does the job like so:

document.title = chrome.i18n.getMessage("name");
document.querySelector("span.name").innerHTML = chrome.i18n.getMessage("name");

but this seems awfully ineffecient. Furthermore, I would like to be able to specify the page metadata; application-name and description, pulling the values from the localization files. What would be the best way of doing all this?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

不知道，如果我完全了解您要执行的操作，但是您可以动态地获取目标标记的LANG属性（使用.getAttribute("lang")或.lang ）并相应地提供适当的值。

Please refer to this documentation: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/i18n.html

If you want to add localized content within HTML, you would need to do it via JavaScript as you mentioned before. That is the only way you can do it.

chrome.i18n.getMessage("name")

It isn't inefficient to do that, you can place your JavaScript at the end of the document (right before the end body tag) and it will fill up the text with respect to the locale.
