Localization of user interface elements localization-of-user-interface-elements

Certain content that the Video Viewer displays is subject to localization. This content includes user interface element tool tips and an error message that is displayed when the video cannot be played.

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":{
"VideoPlayer.ERROR":"Your Browser does not support HTML5 Video tag or the video cannot be played.",
"PlayPauseButton.TOOLTIP_SELECTED":"Play"
 },
 "fr":{
"VideoPlayer.ERROR":"Votre navigateur ne prend pas en charge la vidéo HTML5 tag ou la vidéo ne peuvent pas être lus.",
"PlayPauseButton.TOOLTIP_SELECTED":"Jouer"
},
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 such localization object to the viewer constructor as a value of localizedTexts field of the configuration object. An alternative option is to pass the localization object by calling the setLocalizedTexts(localizationInfo) method.
