One approach is to pass in i18n'ed strings into your js functions, like so;
(e.g. in haml)
:javascript
doSomethingAwesome("#{i18.t :awesome}");
The quotes there are part of the JS, haml allows you to interpolate
integers too by just not putting the quotes there:
:javascript:
multiplySomethingAwesome(#{awesomeness_factor})
What I generally do is something like this, to make it all a bit cleaner:
:javascript
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
localised_message: "#{I18n.t :awesome}"
};
Awesome.init(options);
Awesome.doSomethingAwesome();
});
... and then store the options in the init function and access them
later in from other functions.
One of my coworkers has set up this, but I haven't had any experience
with it myself. It apparently allows you to use your i18n labels from
JS, by exporting them to a js file and giving you a Rails-like API to
use them.
