Hello,
Is it possible to retrieve locale-file synchronously (right after the manifest
file has been loaded)?
Here is my use-case:
1. I include the library as the last script in the head.
<script src="l20n.js"></script>
2. I include the localization manifest file.
<link rel="localization" href="browser.json">
{
"locales": [
"en",
"ru"
],
"resources": [
"../locales/{{locale}}/website.l20n"
]
}
3. File "../locales/en/website.l20n":
```html
<happy[$user.gender] {
male: "He is happy!",
female: "She is happy!"
}>
```
File "../locales/ru/website.l20n":
```html
<happy[$user.gender] {
male: "Он счастлив!",
female: "Она счастлива!"
}>
```
4. I use Handlebars.js template engine to render pages:
File "message.hbs":
```html
<div class="message">{{localaze "happy" user}}</div>
```
Where ```user``` is Object passed to Handlebars.js before rendering.
```localize``` is Handelbars helper function that translates text while
rendering:
```js
Handlebars.registerHelper('l20n', function(msg, user){
var localizedText = document.l10n.getSync(msg, user);
return new Handlebars.SafeString(localizedText);
});
```
Here is the point: Handlebars.js needs that website.l20n file has been loaded
before rendering "message.hbs", because it uses "getSync" method of l20n.js
while rendering "message.hbs".
Thank you.
