Internationalisation optimize propositions

tstar

I have a proposal to optimize work with language files.

1. Store the language files in JavaScript format and rename them in the name of the locale like "dataTables-en.js". This will help to automate the adding language files.

2. Make the language files set default language setting automatically when you add them. Here is an example of such a file:

$.extend($.fn.dataTable.defaults, {
    language: {
        search: "Search:"
    }
})

Of course, it is necessary to take into account the dependencies for AMD.

I converted to this format, some important files and now I am very happy. It is very convenient to use.

1. Agreed. This will happen when I get a chance to do it.
2. Interesting idea. I need to do some work with AMD loading at the moment, as it isn't strictly compatible with what npm wants. I will keep this in mind when I do so.

To be honest, I spied the idea from jQuery UI Datepicker http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/#localization. You can see them myself implementation of language files on https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/tree/master/ui/i18n.
