Localization

The PhotoEditor SDK for Web can be localized easily. Learn how to quickly set up your editor in the proper language for your target audience.

International web applications have international users. That's why our editor supports localization.

Changing UI language#

We have localization available already in English (EN) and German (DE) and you can easily switch languages by adding the language String (Defaults to en) property to the configuration object passed to the UI.

const editor = await PhotoEditorSDKUI.init({
language: 'en', // 'en' or 'de'
});

Changing labels for existing languages#

You can change the text of a button or label by adding the component key with a new text to the config.custom.languages object The language objects should have the same structure as our default languages. You'll find the English language object at the bottom of the page.

const editor = await PhotoEditorSDKUI.init({
language: 'en',
custom: {
languages: {
en: englishLaguageObject,
},
},
});

Changing only what needs changing#

You can also use the localization feature to simply change the button text with any word (can be the same language). In this case you don't even have to supply the entire language object. It is enough to overwrite the words you want to change.

Example#

Changing the export button to say Save instead of Export:

const editor = await PhotoEditorSDKUI.init({
custom: {
languages: {
en: {
mainCanvasActions: {
buttonExport: 'Save',
},
},
},
},
});

Adding a custom language#

PhotoEditor SDK provides a configuration support for multiple language. You can define labels in multiple languages and add them to configuration.

import es from './es';
import nl from './nl';
const editor = await PhotoEditorSDKUI.init({
custom: {
language: 'en', // change the language key here, based on which language has to be loaded
languages: {
en: {
mainCanvasActions: {
buttonExport: 'Save',
},
},
nl,
es,
},
},
});

Again, in this case you don't even have to supply the entire language object. It is enough to define the words you want to change. For the rest of the labels, it leans on the fallback langauge i.e., English.
