I'd be grateful for feedback regarding the following:
/* Iterate over elements and lookup translation for language in JSON
dictionary */
function translateChildren(parent, language) {
var phrases = parent.getElementsByClassName('lang');
phrases.each(function(p) {
var phrase = p.readAttribute('for');
p.innerHTML = translations[phrase][language];
});
}
/* Get language from Cookie */
function getLanguage() {
document.cookie.scan(/language=(..)/,
function(match){
lang = match[1]
})
return lang;
}
/* JSON dictionary */
var translations = {
'search': {'en': "Search", 'de': "Suche"},
'logout': {'en': "Logout", 'de': "Abmelden"},
'account': {'en': "Account", 'de': "Konto"}
}
...
<div id="menu">
<a href = "" class = "lang" for = "search">Search</a>
<a href = "" class = "lang" for = "account">Account</a>
<a href = "" class = "lang" for = "logout">logout</a>
</div>
<script>translateChildren($('menu'), getLanguage())</script>
...
The inline script tag is a bit messy, but means the page can be
translated before the onload event would trigger it.
