Translating string in JS

[Nico Knoll]

Hey,

what is the best practice for making a string in a .js file translatable?

Greets,

Depends a bit on context, but especially for modules I prefer translating strings in module file, storing them in $config->js and then in JS file fetching from config var.

Simple example: PageListPermissions.module => PageListPermissions.js (though I'd also suggest "namespacing" JS config content, i.e. instead of using config.i18n.*, use config.YourModuleName.* and/or config.YourModuleName.i18n.* etc.)

I agree with Teppo and this is the same method the core uses.
