Methods

assignTranslations(translations) → {Translations}

This method can be used to transfer overlays from an object.

This method can be used to transfer overlays from an object. The keys are transferred, and the values are entered as text.

The values can either be character strings or, in the case of texts with plural forms, objects. The plural forms must be stored as text via a standard key "zero", "one", "two", "few", "many" and "other".

Additionally, the key default can be specified, which will be used if no other key fits.

In some languages, like for example in German, there is no own more number at the value 0. In these languages, the function applies additionally zero.

translations.assignTranslations({
  "text1": "Make my day!",
  "text2": "I'll be back!",
  "text6": {
    "zero": "There are no files on Disk.",
    "one": "There is one file on Disk.",
    "other": "There are files on Disk."
    "default": "There are files on Disk."
});
