Can I use i18n for DOM attrs like title or placeholder? about jquery.i18n

[pixelomo]

There's a much simpler way to add translations for placeholders that the creator of jQuery i18n recommends

<input data-i18n="[placeholder]name" value="name">

and then in your translation.json file

"name" : "Name"

The jQuery plugin function $.fn.i18n() updates only the text value of the DOM node. It is convenient shortcut for that purpose. But as you said, there will be lot of other places you need a message in certain language. There you need to use $.i18n(messageKey, params) after setting the correct locale.

In your case it will be like

var i18n = $.i18n();
i18n.locale = 'de'; //set the locale
$( 'div.content > input' ).prop( {
    placeholder: $.i18n( 'appname-placeholder' ),
    title: $.i18n( 'appname-title' )
} );
