I am currently trying to setup a project to implement localization on javascript files (as described here) but at the same time I'd like to bundle and minify the javascript in the project. I followed a tutorial on bundling and minification here
I have been able to get both working separately, but when I try to get them working together I cannot get the localisation working properly. I think this is because bundling creates it's own route handling for the bundled/minified javascript it generates, so the httpHandler I have defined in the webconfig gets ignored. I keep getting javascript errors saying "CustomTranslate is not defined".
I am trying to do this because we are building a number of controls using ExtJS, but we need to be able to apply localisation to those controls. Any help/ideas on how I can get them to work together would be appreciated.
I am not using MVC, but doing this in asp.net in Visual Studio 2012.
Here is my code:
BundleConfig.cs
namespace TranslationTest
{
public class BundleConfig
{
public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
{
//default bundles addeed here...
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/ExtJS.axd").Include("~/Scripts/ExtJS/ext-all.js", "~/Scripts/ExtJS/TestForm.js"));
}
}
}
web.config:
<globalization uiCulture="auto" />
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="/bundles/ExtJS.axd" type="TranslationTest.ScriptTranslator, TranslationTest" />
</httpHandlers>
Default.aspx
<%@ Page Title="Home Page" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="TranslationTest._Default" %>
<asp:Content runat="server" ID="BodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">
<script src="/bundles/ExtJS.axd"></script>
</asp:Content>
TestForm.js:
Ext.require([
'Ext.form.*',
'Ext.layout.container.Column',
'Ext.tab.Panel'
]);
Ext.onReady(function () {
Ext.QuickTips.init();
var bd = Ext.getBody();
bd.createChild({ tag: 'h2', html: 'Form 1' });
var simple = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
url: 'save-form.php',
frame: true,
title: 'Simple Form',
bodyStyle: 'padding:5px 5px 0',
width: 350,
fieldDefaults: {
msgTarget: 'side',
labelWidth: 75
},
defaultType: 'textfield',
defaults: {
anchor: '100%'
},
items: [{
fieldLabel: CustomTranslate(FirstName),
name: 'first',
allowBlank: false
}, {
fieldLabel: CustomTranslate(LastName),
name: 'last'
}, {
fieldLabel: CustomTranslate(Company),
name: 'company'
}, {
fieldLabel: CustomTranslate(Email),
name: 'email',
vtype: 'email'
}, {
xtype: 'timefield',
fieldLabel: CustomTranslate(Time),
name: 'time',
minValue: '8:00am',
maxValue: '6:00pm'
}],
buttons: [{
text: CustomTranslate(Save)
}, {
text: CustomTranslate(Cancel)
}]
});
simple.render(document.body);
});
Currently the FirstName, LastName, etc are all stored in resource files, as in the linked example above.

I hope I've covered everything, but please let me know if there's anything missing. Thanks in advance!!
