js/translations.js

$(document).ready(function(){

  language = (language_complete[0]);  
  i18n.init({ lng: language, debug: true }, function() {
    $(".menu").i18n();

/locales/de/translation.json

{

    "surname": "Nachname:",
    "firstName": "Vorname:"

  "startHeader":            "Willkommen",
  "buttonA1" : "A1",
  "buttonA2" : "A2",
  "buttonA3" : "A3",
  "header1" : "Überschrift 1",
  "header2" : "Überschrift 2",
  "header3" : "Überschrift 3",
  "buttonCancel1" : "Abbruch",
  "buttonCancel2" : "Abbruch",
  "buttonCancel3" : "Abbruch",
  "button1" : "Klick mich 1",
  "button2" : "Klick mich 2",
  "button3" : "Klick mich 3",
  "button4" : "Klick mich 4",
  "button5" : "Klick mich 5",
  "button6" : "Klick mich 6",
}

/locales/en/translation.json
/locales/dev/translation.json 

{
  "menu": {
    "surname": "Name:",
    "firstName": "First Name:"
  },

  "startHeader":            "Welcome",
  "buttonA1" : "A1",
  "buttonA2" : "A2",
  "buttonA3" : "A3",
  "header1" : "Headline 1",
  "header2" : "Headline 2",
  "header3" : "Headline 3",
  "buttonCancel1" : "Cancel",
  "buttonCancel2" : "Cancel",
  "buttonCancel3" : "Cancel",
  "button1" : "Click me 1",
  "button2" : "Click me 2",
  "button3" : "Click me 3",
  "button4" : "Click me 4",
  "button5" : "Click me 5",
  "button6" : "Click me 6",
}

The menu translation still works, so I skipped this part from index.html.

Additional question: Is it possible to translate all text with same content at one time? Examples are the cancel buttons which are currently translated separately.

Thanks in advance for your help.

La solution

You can nest your translations - like building a glossary.

// given resources
{
     dev: { translation: { nesting1: '1 $t(nesting2)' } },
     en: { translation: { nesting2: '2 $t(nesting3)' } },            
     'en-US': { translation: {  nesting3: '3' } }
};

i18n.t("nesting1"); // -> 1 2 3

http://i18next.com/pages/doc_features.html#nesting

or just give every cancel button the same key?

$("#buttonCancel1").i18n();
$("#buttonCancel2").i18n();
$("#buttonCancel3").i18n();

<a id="#buttonCancel1" href="#start" data-icon="delete" data-i18n="cancel"></a>
<a id="#buttonCancel2" href="#start" data-icon="delete" data-i18n="cancel"></a>
<a id="#buttonCancel3" href="#start" data-icon="delete" data-i18n="cancel"></a>

{
  "cancel" : "Cancel"
}
