Localization of user interface elements

Certain content that the Mixed Media Viewer displays is subject to localization. This guideline includes zoom buttons, spin buttons, video controls, close button, full screen button, and swatch scroll buttons.

Every textual content in the viewer that can be localized is represented by a special Viewer SDK identifier called SYMBOL. Any SYMBOL has a default associated text value for the English locale ( "en") supplied with the out-of-the-box viewer. It may also have user-defined values set for as many locales as needed.

When the viewer starts, it checks the current locale to see if there is a user-defined value for each supported SYMBOL for the locale. If there is, it uses the user-defined value; otherwise, it falls back to the out-of-the-box default text.

User-defined localization data can be passed to the viewer as a localization JSON object. Such object contains the list of supported locales, SYMBOL text values for each locale, and the default locale.

An example of such a localization object is the following:

{
"en":{
"CloseButton.TOOLTIP":"Close",
"ZoomInButton.TOOLTIP":"Zoom In"
 },
 "fr":{
"CloseButton.TOOLTIP":"Fermer",
"ZoomInButton.TOOLTIP":"Agrandir"
},
defaultLocale:"en"
}

In the above example, the localization object defines two locales ( "en" and "fr") and provides localization for two user interface elements in each locale.

The web page code should pass the localization object to the viewer constructor as a value of the localizedTexts field of the configuration object. An alternative option is to pass the localization object by calling the setLocalizedTexts(localizationInfo) method.
