Tested on Umbraco 4.7.2 and Umbraco 4.8.0.

This plugin generates javascript dictionary files. Usage:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=ResolveUrl("~/scripts/uDictionary-da-DK.js")%>"></script>

This exposes a global variable $uDictionary, which can be used to reolve dictionary entries:

// HelloUser resolves to "Hello {0}!"
$('#container').text($uDictionary['HelloUser'].replace("{0}", "World"));

Merge dictionaries by adding several uDictionary-*.js. This feature is something i think is useful. But it is not natively supported by Umbraco. By adding more languages you can have them extend each other. For example if we developed a site and created a dictionary for en-GB and wanted to support en-US also, then instead of copying everything we could correct the differences intead.

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=ResolveUrl("~/scripts/uDictionary-en-US.js")%>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%=ResolveUrl("~/scripts/uDictionary-en-GB.js")%>"></script>

Due to a bug in Umbraco (as of 4.8.0) the javascript files are not published when a Dictionary item is saved (only on creation and deletion), therefore an icon was added to the menubar to force publish the files (remember to save the item first!).

Tested on

• Chrome 21

• IE 9
• IE 7

Dictionary Translator for Umbraco 1, i borrowed the UI part from their solution.

I should also mention Dictionary 2 javascript for Umbraco 2 it's very similar to this project, they differ using fancy xml handling and using per request dictionary creation.
