Using Translations

After declaring the translations list, now we need to use it in our application.

There are couple of ways to do this:

Using Request Object

To access the translations list, you can use the request object, which is available in all controllers, services, and middlewares.

To access the translations list, use the t method:

src/app/users/controllers/create-account.ts

import { Request, Response } from "@warlock.js/core";

export async function createAccount(request: Request, response: Response) {
  try {
    // create user

    return response.success({
      message: request.t("users.successCreate"),
    });
  } catch (error) {
    return response.badRequest({
      error: error.message,
    });
  }
}

Now we need to update our users localization file:

src/app/users/utils/locales.ts

import { groupedTranslation } from "@mongez/localization";

groupedTranslation("users", {
  successCreate: {
    en: "User created successfully",
    ar: "تم إنشاء المستخدم بنجاح",
  },
});

Using t function

Another shorthand function to use current translation is by using t function, this function can be used anywhere in the application.

src/app/users/controllers/create-account.ts

import { t } from "@warlock.js/core";

export async function createAccount(request: Request, response: Response) {
  try {
    // create user

    return response.success({
      message: t("users.successCreate"),
    });
  } catch (error) {
    return response.badRequest({
      error: error.message,
    });
  }
}

tip

Please note that you should not use the trans function directly from the @mongez/localization package, as it will not work as expected.
