Have not tried it myself yet, but there is a project for this: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/dictionary-2-javascript

You can just use this:

var someVarName = "<%= umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("yourDictionairyItemKey") %>";

@kipusoep - I've tried it but it is not working. It just return the actual string <%=umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("enter email address")%>

You should put that code line of code in the markup of a masterpage (template, not .js file) and surround it with script tags, like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var someVarName = "<%= umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("yourDictionairyItemKey") %>";
</script>

but most of my script is in a js file. :( so it means it is not possible.

Thanks though.

Has anyone been able to get this working ?

Usually I use the approach, which @kipusoep discribes - define global variables in the master template and then access them from javascript files included after the script block in the master template.

If the text you need to use is in any way related to something that's being rendered, I will usually render it as a data-attribute on the element, which I can then grab from the JS file later, when needed.

Most easy way to do this is just with razor on a template page:

<script type="text/javascript">
var test = '@Umbraco.GetDictionaryItem("DictionaryKey")';
</script>

Hi guys,

Ive tried to add same in my template

<script>
    var name = "<%= umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("dicItem") %>";

</script>

But no success in the Js file where it needs to be within html

var flap=$("<div class='fl'> dicItem needs to be here<span class='flLabel'/></div>");

@Fuji

If you print the variable name to the console, do you then see a value for "name"?

console.log(name);

Then you should be able to use it like this:

var flap=$("<div class='fl'>" + name + "<span class='flLabel'/></div>");

Make sure the variable "name" is declared before this line and that the language is set.

@Bjarne,

I had my script all the way down, forgot to move it before the Js file.

Yes works now.
