Google Transliterate translation in a rich faces page using java script

Question

Hello,

I am trying to use google transliterate and translate some text from english to a diffrent language. I am able to do this using the following code in the javascript.

  var options = {
                                  sourceLanguage:
                                      google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.ENGLISH,
                                  destinationLanguage:
                                      [google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.GERMAN],
                                  shortcutKey: 'ctrl+g',
                                  transliterationEnabled: true
                              };

Now this is static code so i can only translate english to German. I have Rich faces code which changes the language to a couple of types i get the value that needs to be translated in a particular page as a bean property something like a

<ui:param name="mcLanguage" value="#{mcLanguageHome.instance.getLanguageType()}"/>

so my question is .. is there a way i can pass this on a particular page to my javascript file. So i can change the language accordingly.

You can create create your javascript file with a variable:

 <script>
    function translate(lang){
     var options = {
             sourceLanguage:                google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.ENGLISH,
             destinationLanguage:
                                 [google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.+ lang+ ],
                                      shortcutKey: 'ctrl+g',
                                      transliterationEnabled: true
                                  };

}

    </script>

and call the javascript:

<h:body onload="translate(#{mcLanguageHome.instance.getLanguageType()})" >
...
</h:body>
