This sample shows how to automatically replace
<textarea>
elements with a CKEditor instance with an option to change the
language of its user interface.
It pulls the language list from CKEditor
_languages.js
file that contains the list of supported languages and creates a
drop-down list that lets the user change the UI language.
By default, CKEditor automatically localizes the editor to the
language of the user. The UI language can be controlled with two
configuration options:
language
and
defaultLanguage
. The
defaultLanguage
setting specifies the default CKEditor language to be used when a
localization suitable for user's settings is not available.
To specify the user interface language that will be used no matter
what language is specified in user's browser or operating system,
set the
language
property:
CKEDITOR.replace( 'textarea_id', { // Load the German interface. language: 'de' });
Note that
textarea_id
in the code above is the
id
attribute of the
<textarea>
element to be replaced.
