Locale Packs

SME Uploader speaks multiple languages, English being the default. You can use a locale pack to translate SME Uploader into your language of choice.

List of our locale packs

Using a locale pack from npm

This is the recommded way. Install @sme-uploader/locales package from npm, then choose the locale you’d like to use: @sme-uploader/locales/lib/LANGUAGE_CODE.

npm i @sme-uploader/core @sme-uploader/locales
const SmeUploader = require('@sme-uploader/core');
const German = require('@sme-uploader/locales/lib/de_DE'); // see below for the full list of locales
const uploader = new SmeUploader({
  debug: true,
  locale: German
});

Using a locale pack from CDN

Add a <script> tag with SME Uploader bundle and the locale pack you’d like to use. You can copy/paste the link from the CDN column in the locales table. The locale will attach itself to the SmeUploader.locales object.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/sme-uploader@1.0.6/dist/sme-uploader.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/sme-uploader@1.0.6/locales/de_DE.min.js"></script>

<script>
var uploader = SmeUploader.Core({
  debug: true,
  locale: SmeUploader.locales.de_DE
})
</script>

Overriding locale strings for a specific plugin

Many plugins come with their own locale strings, and the packs we provide consist of most of those strings. You can, however, override a locale string for a specific plugin, regardless of whether you are using locale pack or not. See the plugin documentation for the list of locale strings it uses (for example, here’s how to use it with the Dashboard UI).

const SmeUploader = require('@sme-uploader/core');
const DragDrop = require('@sme-uploader/drag-drop');
const Russian = require('@sme-uploader/locales/lib/ru_RU');
const uploader = new SmeUploader({
  debug: true,
  autoProceed: true,
  locale: Russian
});
uploader.use(DragDrop, {
  target: '.SmeUploaderDragDrop',
  // We are using the ru_RU locale pack (set above in SME Uploader options),
  // but you can also override specific strings like so:
  locale: {
    strings: {
      browse: 'выберите ;-)'
    }
  }
});

Contributing a new language

If you speak a language we don’t yet support, you can contribute! Here’s how you do it:

  1. Go to the sme-uploader/locales directory in the SME Uploader GitHub repo.
  2. Go to en_US.js and copy its contents, as English is the most up-to-date locale.
  3. Press “Create new file”, name it according to the language_COUNTRY format, make sure to use underscore _ as a divider. Examples: en_US, en_GB, ru_RU, ar_AE. Variants should be trailing, e.g.: sr_RS_Latin for Serbian Latin vs Cyrillic.
  4. If your language has different pluralization rules than English, update the pluralize implementation.
  5. Paste what you’ve copied from en_US.js and use it as a starting point to translate strings into your language.
  6. When you are ready, save the file — this should create a PR that we’ll then review 🎉 Thanks!
