3.3 Application Language Configuration - mmig/mmir GitHub Wiki
Application Language Configuration (www/config/languages)
MMIR is designed to provide an easy-to-use and extensible framework for localizing your application for languages other than English/German or for providing multi-language support in your application. In the following, we refer to this process also as "internationalization".
In MMIR, support for internationalization is provided by a mechanism for abstracting all string-messages, static
text in your views, etc. – i.e. separating it from your application code. This is done by creating dictionaries
for the targeted languages. For example, if you want to support French in your application, you should define a
folder fr in config/languages where you create your French dictionary.
Dictionaries are well-formatted JSON-Files.
The MMIR StarterKit has two example dictionaries for English and German.
For more details on creating a new dictionary and using it in your application
see section Add a new Dictionary.
The language directories also hold the grammar definitions for parsing speech input: grammar.json.
The grammar file contain the speech grammar in a well-formed JSON format. If you intent to use speech recognition
in your application, you should also provide a grammar file for each language.
For more details see Add a new Grammar.
The file speaker.json contains the configuration for the text-to-speech (TTS) component, e.g. which voice should be used when synthesizing to text to audio-output.
NOTE: the details for this configuration may be subject to change.
