Using different javascript for multilanguage website

[Edward Ver]

How to load a different js for another language? I'm new to PW, and my first time developing a multi language website in PW too. I came across a problem where I have to load a different js for english for example.

Norwegian (default lang): <script src="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>assets/scripts/cookieconsent-init-no.js" defer></script>

How to load it if the url is mydomain.com/en.

 

Thank you in advance.

Try maybe:

if($user->language->name == "en"){
    //Processwire magic 
}

That works! Thank you so much!

<?php if($user->language->name == "en-gb"): ?>
    <script src="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>assets/scripts/cookieconsent-init-en.js" async></script>
    <?php else: ?>
        <script src="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>assets/scripts/cookieconsent-init-no.js" async></script>
<?php endif; ?>

Hi,

just my two cents with a trick i use very often, not only for js files...
assuming your default language is norvegian, in your templates/_init.php file

$liso = $user->language->name == 'default' ? 'no' : $user->language->name;

(i use $liso for language iso but of course, the var name ia up to you) and then whereve you need a different file/img... named after the user language, let's do it with your js file

<script src="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>assets/scripts/cookieconsent-init-<?= $liso; ?>.js" async></script>

will work whatrever number of languages your website uses
in case it may help

have a nice day
