I have two translations for my app, English and German, but I need my invoicing module to use a separate language setting.
Is there a way to force the labels on the invoicing page to use the language I set in the invoice_language
variable?
So instead of
{{ 'TD_ID' | translate }}
I need something like
{{ 'TD_ID' | translate:'{"language": invoice_language}' }}
Bind your TD_ID only once in your controller swapping the language before you do so.
In your view, instead of:
{{ 'TD_ID' | translate }}
simply bind without translate filter:
{{ 'TD_ID' }}
and in your controller:
function setInvoiceTranslations(key){
var invoice_language = 'de';
currentLang = $translate.use();
$translate.use(invoice_language);
var translateText;
$translate(key).then(function (translatedtext) {
$scope[key] = translatedtext;
$translate.use(currentLang);
});
}
setInvoiceTranslations('TD_ID');
To see this in action see this plunker (which adapts the "How it works" example from angular-translate.github.io).
See this page on angular-translate's docs for information about this technique (please read "Things to keep in mind" on that page).
(make sure you inject $translate into your controller, or where-ever you end up putting the setInvoiceTranslations() function)
You can create your custom filter (ex. "wordKey" | translateTo: languageKey ) and call the $translate service:
.filter('translateTo', function ($translate) {
return function (key, lang) {
return $translate.instant(key, {}, undefined, lang);
}; });
You can force the word to be translated on the fly without modifying the global language.

Let follow this doc: https://angular-translate.github.io/docs/#/api/pascalprecht.translate.$translate
You can translate a text to a specific language with forceLanguage
param;
For example:
$translate('PUSH_NOTIFICATION.NEW_RATING', {}, undefined, undefined, 'ar').then(function (translatedText) {
if(translatedText){
..do something
});
//'PUSH_NOTIFICATION.NEW_RATING' is Translate KEY in your language file
// {} for dynamic values
// 'ar' a specific language
Another way to do this is using angular-translate's built in translate-language
directive as so:
<div translate-language="{{ invoice_language }}">
{{ 'TD_ID' | translate }}
</div>
No need to create a custom one or do anything in the controller.
