In addition, the following functions of LanguageManager are made accessible on the mmir.LanguageManager instance with these additional names

		setLanguageManagerCompatibility(languageManager);
});

Methods

changeLanguage(newLang, doReRenderView){String}

tools/extensions/LanguageManagerV1Compatibility.js, line 163
FIXME does not work, since PresentationManager.reRenderView was removed! This function changes the application language and, if requested, renders the current view again, so that the change of the language is applied to the currently displayed view. After changing the language (and re-rendering the view) an event "language_choosen" is raised on the DialogManager.
Note: Momentarily this function is used by 'controllers/application.js' to generate a menu to choose the application language.
This should better be implemented as a partial.
Name Type Description
newLang String The new language which is to be used henceforth
doReRenderView Boolean Should the currently displayed view be rendered again in the new language?
Returns:
Type Description
String The translation of the keyword
