Language

CompactChart supports language translation. Each phrase that is seen or heard in the UI is assigned a code which is used to look up the appropriate translation. The phrases and their assigned numeric codes appear in the js/modules/language.js file. Should a new phrase be added, in order to support language translation, that phrase would need to be added to this file and assigned a unique code. In the js/modules/languages folder there are a few modules supporting translation of these codes into English, French, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, and Japanese. More languages may be added simply by creating a copy of an existing language file, renaming it to the desired locale, and changing the translations in the file. To provide support for a language, include its locale in the languages section of the configuration LanguageConfig.
