Change tooltip language of custom plugin Ckedtior

Question

I have made a custom plugin for ckeditor, now i am trying to change the tooltip language dynamically on selected language. I have tried to put the translated tooltip text in corresponding js file in lang folder of ckeditor but it is not working.

If you create a toolbar button, add it with editor.ui.addButton within plugin's pluginDefinition.init, like this:

CKEDITOR.plugins.add( 'pluginName', {
    lang: 'lan,gua,ges,sup,por,ted,by,this,plu,gin,com,ma,se,pa,ra,ted',
    icons: 'icons,used,by,this,plugin',
    requires: 'anotherPlugin',
    init: function( editor ) {
        // Register the toolbar button.
        if ( editor.ui.addButton ) {
            editor.ui.addButton( 'ButtonName', {
                label: editor.lang.pluginName.labelName, // Your label
                command: 'yourcommand', // Command name
                directional: true, // Depends on BiDi support, optional
                toolbar: 'list,10' // Wherever you want, in fact
            });             
        }
        ...
     }
 });

Now supposing your language is foo, then pluginName/lang/foo.js should look like this:

CKEDITOR.plugins.setLang( 'pluginName', 'foo', {
    labelName: 'My label!'
});

Remember to add foo to the lang property inside of the object literal of your pluginDefinition:

CKEDITOR.plugins.add( 'pluginName', {
    lang: 'foo',
    ...
 });

Generally speaking, editor.lang.pluginName.labelName is available inside of init, whatever you want to use it for.
