Setting strings manually

You can set translated strings by injecting the gettextCatalog and using the setStrings method.

As an example, you may have the following code in your application:

angular.module("myApp").run(function (gettextCatalog) {
    // Load the strings automatically during initialization.
    gettextCatalog.setStrings("nl", {
        "Hello": "Hallo",
        "One boat": ["Een boot", "{{$count}} boats"]
    });
});

The setStrings method accepts two parameters:

1. language: A language code.

2. strings: A dictionary of strings. The format of this dictionary is:

   • Keys: Singular English strings (as defined in the source files)
   • Values: Either a single string for signular-only strings or an array of plural forms.

Converting translated .po files into angular-compatible JavaScript files can be done automatically using the grunt-angular-gettext module (instructions on how to do this).
