Installation

We assume that you already installed ngx-translate.

Now you need to install the npm module for MultiTranslateHttpLoader:

npm install ngx-translate-multi-http-loader

Choose the version corresponding to your Angular version:

Angular@ngx-translate/corengx-translate-multi-http-loader
>= 1615.x+>= 15.x+
1514.x+9.x+
1414.x+8.x+
1314.x+7.x+
610.x+1.x+

Usage

The MultiTranslateHttpLoader uses HttpBackend to load translations, therefore :

  1. Create and export a new HttpLoaderFactory function
  2. Import the HttpClientModule from @angular/common/http
  3. Setup the TranslateModule to use the MultiTranslateHttpLoader
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {HttpClientModule, HttpBackend} from '@angular/common/http';
import {TranslateModule, TranslateLoader} from '@ngx-translate/core';
import {MultiTranslateHttpLoader} from 'ngx-translate-multi-http-loader';
import {AppComponent} from './app';

// AoT requires an exported function for factories
export function HttpLoaderFactory(_httpBackend: HttpBackend) {
    return new MultiTranslateHttpLoader(_httpBackend, ['/assets/i18n/core/', '/assets/i18n/vendors/']); // /i18n/core/ on angular >= v18 with the new public logic
}

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        HttpClientModule,
        TranslateModule.forRoot({
            loader: {
                provide: TranslateLoader,
                useFactory: HttpLoaderFactory,
                deps: [HttpBackend]
            }
        })
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

The MultiTranslateHttpLoader takes a list of string[] or TranslationResource[].

String[]

For example ['/assets/i18n/core/', '/assets/i18n/vendors/'],
will load your translations files for the lang "en" from : /assets/i18n/core/en.json and /assets/i18n/vendors/en.json

Custom suffix

For now this loader only support the json format.

Instead of an array of string[],
you may pass a list of parameters:

export function HttpLoaderFactory(_httpBackend: HttpBackend) {
    return new MultiTranslateHttpLoader(_httpBackend, [
        {prefix: './assets/i18n/core/', suffix: '.json'},
        {prefix: './assets/i18n/vendors/'}, // , "suffix: '.json'" being the default value
        {prefix: './assets/i18n/non-existent/', optional: true}, // Wont create any log
    ]);
}

The loader will merge all translation files from the server

Possible error & Bugfix

values.at is not a function

  1. Install core-js
  2. In polyfills.ts, add import 'core-js/modules/es.array.at'
