[Building Sakai] Internationalizing a confirmation in RSF

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Brian,

Just do it all in the HTML, you dont need a Javascript method to handle this since confirm() returns a boolean anyway. RSF has a tag that you can use to get the message directly in the HTML.

Some pseudo code:

onclick="return confirm('rsf:id="msg=confirm.message"')"

cheers,
Steve

After 2.9 the language was added as a javascript variable to the headers which makes it easier to do a lookup with the jquery-i18n-properties. This probably only a good idea if you have a lot of messages to lookup. Here are the rest of the best practices.
