# Internationalization
Vue Formulate ships with the english language validation messages pre-installed,
but the Vue community is great, and new translations continue to be submitted.
These localizations are collected in the @braid/vue-formulate-i18n
package.
# Supported languages
Vue Formulate currently supports these languages:
Locales
The flags in the following list indicate the country of origin for that
translation. Language locales are also supported, for example
🇺🇸 en-US
vs 🇬🇧 en-GB
. If you’d like your locale represented, please submit
a PR following the contribution guide.
- 🇪🇬 Arabic (ar)
- Catalan (ca)
- 🇨🇳 Chinese (zh)
- 🇨🇿 Czech (cs)
- 🇩🇰 Danish (da)
- 🇳🇱 Dutch (nl)
- 🇩🇪 German (de)
- 🇺🇸 English (en)
- 🇫🇷 French (fr)
- 🇮🇱 Hebrew (he)
- 🇭🇺 Hungarian (hu)
- 🇮🇹 Italian (it)
- 🇯🇵 Japanese (ja)
- 🇰🇷 Korean (ko)
- 🇱🇹 Lithuanian (lt)
- 🇳🇴 Norwegian (nb)
- 🇵🇱 Polish (pl)
- 🇧🇷 Portuguese (pt)
- 🇷🇺 Russian (ru)

- 🇸🇰 Slovak (sk)
- 🇨🇺 Spanish (es)
- 🇹🇭 Thai (th)

When using a right-to-left language like Arabic with the default snow theme
it may be necessary to modify the direction
css property in your project.
Thanks to all of the locale contributors!
💪 Add your language
Vue Formulate needs your help! Help others who speak your language or
localization (en-US
) by contributing a new locale!
# Registering a locale
You can register translations just like you would any other Vue Formulate plugin.
import Vue from 'vue'
import VueFormulate from '@braid/vue-formulate'
import { de } from '@braid/vue-formulate-i18n'
Vue.use(VueFormulate, {
plugins: [ de ]
})
If your site needs to support many languages, you can register them all at the same time.
import Vue from 'vue'
import VueFormulate from '@braid/vue-formulate'
import { de, da, fr } from '@braid/vue-formulate-i18n'
Vue.use(VueFormulate, {
plugins: [ de, da, fr ]
})
# Setting the active locale
# Explicitly setting the locale
You can explicitly set the locale
in the options where you install Vue. Doing
this ensures this is the only locale that will be used on the site.
Vue.use(VueFormulate, {
plugins: [ de ],
locale: 'de'
})
Using a CDN
When importing your locale from a CDN via the .min.js
file, you must use the .default
property.
See this example: https://codepen.io/team/braid/pen/ExZaQYr
# vue-i18n
If your site already uses vue-i18n
(opens new window) you
can leave the locale
option blank and it will attempt to use the locale that
is currently configured in vue-i18n
.
