Manually set the locale in sailsjs [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

Sailsjs change localization (1 answer)

Closed 5 years ago.

I was wondering how one could manually change the locale for a SailsJS app. What I am envisioning is having a dropdown on the top nav bar from which the user can change the language that they want the site to be displayed in.

Answer 1

you'll have to adapt your config/i18n.js in the sails project to configure your locales, default locale, and perhaps a custom cookie name.

Then you can use setLocale('myLocaleName') to set the locale based on what gets selected in your dropdown. The link provides a detailed description on how to do this.

Good luck
