setLocale() method

Set the locale and the localization data

setLocale(locale: String, localization: Object): Core

(* denotes a required parameter)

Parameter	Type	Description
`locale`*	`String`	The locale in the format of `countrycode_LANGUAGECODE` (en_US, de_DE, fr_FR, vi_VN, for example)
`localization`*	`Object`	An object containing the translation of all validators

This method is useful when you want to switch to another locale. See the L10n plugin for an example.

You can access the translation directly from the packages located in the dist/js/locates folder:

<script src="/vendors/@form-validation/umd/bundle/popular.min.js"></script>

<!--
You can include many language packages as you want. Their order don't matter
as you ensure that they are loaded after FormValidation(.min).js
-->
<script src="/vendors/@form-validation/umd/locales/en_US.min.js"></script>
<script src="/vendors/@form-validation/umd/locales/fr_FR.min.js"></script>
<script src="/vendors/@form-validation/umd/locales/vi_VN.min.js"></script>

<script>
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(e) {
        const fv = FormValidation.formValidation(
            document.getElementById('demoForm'),
            {
                ...
            }
        );

        // Access the English translation package
        const englishTranslation = FormValidation.locales.en_US;

        // Switch error messages to English
        fv.setLocale('en_US', englishTranslation);
    });
</script>
