Textbox.io 2.x Documentation : languages

    ↳ ui

        ↳ languages

The languages array lets a developer specify one or more language codes that can be applied to HTML content for internationalization.  Adding the languages configuration won't add automatically the language button to the toolbar which needs to be specified as explained in the command and id's section here. 

This array directly configures the languages available for application in the languages menu. Selecting a language from the languages menu sets the HTML lang attribute for text selected in the editor.

Setting the languages configuration array overrides the languages array defaults.

Note that only some languages have their names translated into all Textbox.io UI languages (see Translated Language Codes below). A developer may choose to apply languages codes from this list, or specify any 2 or 4 letter language code. When specifying a language code that is outside of the translated language codes list (like 'x-klingon'), that language code will appear in the language menu.

Example Configuration

In this example, a simple configuration object is created that specifies which languages to use in the language menu. Note, as mentioned before, not all of these language codes will be translated by Textbox.io.

var config = {
	ui: {
		languages : [	// Languages array, sets the available languages to apply 
			'fr', 		// French
			'fr_ca', 	// French (Canadian)
			'en_gb', 	// English (United Kingdom)
			'x-klingon' // x-klingon : klingon  
		]
	} 
};
 
var editor = textboxio.replace('#targetId', config);
