Developer can use internationalisation in backend.
For that call
const I18n = require('@iobroker/i18n');
// later in "ready" method
await I18n.init(__dirname, adapter);
// If you use class syntax, you can use `this` instead of `adapter`
await I18n.init(__dirname, this);
// You can provide the language directly
await I18n.init(__dirname, 'de');and then in code
console.log(I18n.translate('text to translate %s', 'argument1'));
// or to get the ioBroker.Translated object
console.log(JSON.stringify(I18n.getTranslatedObject('text to translate %s and %s', 'argument1', 'argument2')));You can place your i18n folder in root of adapter or in lib folder. If your i18n files are in lib directory, so call the init function like this:
const { join } = require('node:path');
const I18n = require('@iobroker/i18n');
await I18n.init(join(__dirname, 'lib'), adapter);Expected structure of i18n directory
+ i18n
- de.json
- en.json
- es.json
- fr.json
- it.json
- nl.json
- pl.json
- pt.json
- ru.json
