jquery - How to translate JavaScript strings dynamically? -

i need dynamically translate 2 strings spanish in following js, namely "date" , "read more" if html-document's language code set spanish (html lang="es"):

$.each(data,function(post, postinfo) {         jsonarray.push( postentry + '<a href="' + postinfo.link + '" class="preview-title"><h2>' + postinfo.title + '</h2></a><div class="preview-meta">date: ' + postinfo.date + '</div><p>' + postinfo.preview + '...</p><div class="read-more"><a href="' + postinfo.link + '" class="link-button">read more</a></div>' + postfooter);       }); 

i unsure how approach in best way.

getting language code string work this:

var languagecode = $('html').attr('lang'); 

and implement simple check like:

if (languagecode === 'es') {  ... } else {  ... } 

would appreciate advice how approach this.

if want translate 2 kind of words - translation library might overkill.

i like

lang = {     es : {         readmore : 'read more in spanish',         date     : 'date in spanish'     },     en : {         readmore : 'read more',         date     : 'date'                 } }  var languagecode = $('html').attr('lang');  console.log(lang[languagecode].readmore) console.log(lang[languagecode].date)
