Localizing dhtmlxVault

Localization allows you to present the interface of the file uploader in the language you'd like: English, Spanish, French, etc.
By default, dhtmlxVault provides support for the English locale.

Default english locale

The dhtmlxVault's labels are stored in the strings collection that looks as in:

// dhtmlxvault.js
dhtmlXVaultObject.prototype.strings = {
    // labels
    done:           "Done",
    error:          "Error",
    size_exceeded:  "Filesize exceeded (max #size#)",
    // buttons
    btnAdd:         "Add files",
    btnUpload:      "Upload",
    btnClean:       "Clear all",
    btnCancel:      "Cancel"
};
 
// ext/dhtmlxvault_dnd.js
// drag-&-drop message while the user is dragging files
dhtmlXVaultObject.prototype.strings.dnd = "Drop files here";

An explanation for the size_exceeded param:
in the string size_exceeded the #size# template will be replaced by readableSize of the current value of MaxFileSize.

Let's assume that the string size_exceeded is set as "Filesize exceeded (max #size#)". If a user sets limit to 1234567, for example, by using myVault.setMaxFileSize(1234567), the notice will look like "Filesize exceeded (max 1.18 Mb)".

Setting a custom locale

To implement vault in non-english language, redefine the strings collection.
You can do it in 2 ways:

1) To call the setStrings method and redefine labels just for a single dhtmlxVault instance (call after init):

var myVault = new dhtmlXVaultObject({...});
 
myVault.setStrings({
    done:           "Fertig",
    error:          "Fehler",
    size_exceeded:  "Dateigröße überschritten (max #size#)",
    btnAdd:         "Dateien hinzufügen",
    btnUpload:      "Hochladen",
    btnClean:       "Alle löschen",
    btnCancel:      "Stornieren",
    dnd:            "Drop Dateien hier"
});

2) To use the strings property and redefine labels for all instances of dhtmlxVault (call before init)

dhtmlXVaultObject.prototype.strings = {
    done:           "Fertig",
    error:          "Fehler",
    size_exceeded:  "Dateigröße überschritten (max #size#)",
    btnAdd:         "Dateien hinzufügen",
    btnUpload:      "Hochladen",
    btnClean:       "Alle löschen",
    btnCancel:      "Stornieren"
    dnd:            "Drop Dateien hier"
};
 
var myVault = new dhtmlXVaultObject({...});
