Localisation extension for Handlebars.js

This helper uses a global "window.locale" object to translate the keywords to text strings.

Features:

• Multi-language support
• Keyword nesting
• Automatically sets the language (from the browser properties)

Usage:

In your handlebars template, call the 'l10n' and include the keyword path as a string. Example:

{{l10n "errors.minFileSize"}}

handlebars.localisation.js

Handlebars.registerHelper('l10n', function(keyword) {
		var lang = (navigator.language) ? navigator.language : navigator.userLanguage; 

		// pick the right dictionary
		var locale = window.locale[lang] || window.locale['en-US'];
		
		// loop through all the key hierarchy (if any)
		var target = locale;
		var key = keyword.split(".");
		for (i in key){
			target = target[key[i]];
		
		}
			
		//output
		return target;
});

locale.js

window.locale = {
    "en-US": {
        "errors": {
            "maxFileSize": "File is too big",
            "minFileSize": "File is too small",
            "acceptFileTypes": "Filetype not allowed",
            "maxNumberOfFiles": "Max number of files exceeded",
            "uploadedBytes": "Uploaded bytes exceed file size",
            "emptyResult": "Empty file upload result"
        },
        "error": "Error",
        "start": "Start",
        "cancel": "Cancel",
        "destroy": "Delete"
    }
};
