Translate country names

Hi florianmarianna,

probably the easiest way to achieve what you need would be creating variable for each subdivisions inside the javascript file of the map accordingly to the language used :

1. Get lang attribute of HTML tag using document.documentElement.lang
2. Create a variable each subdivisions with translations
3. Change default subdivisions name in the json series ( just search for subdivisions’ names and replace them with corresponding variable )

So, basically, at top of the javascript map file (it starts with “jquery-jvectormap-” suffix ) add something like following before “jQuery.fn.vectorMap…” :

var getWpLang = document.documentElement.lang;

if( getWpLang.length ) {
	if( getWpLang == 'it-IT' ) {
		var italy_var = "Italia";
		var germany_var = "Germania";
                //other subdivisions...
	}

	else if ( getWpLang == 'de-DE' ){
		var italy_var = "Italien";
		var germany_var = "Deutschland";
                //other subdivisions...
	}

	else {//english default
		var italy_var = "Italy";
		var germany_var = "Germany";
                //other subdivisions...
	}
}

else {//english default in case no lang attribute is retrieved
	var italy_var = "Italy";
	var germany_var = "Germany";
        //other subdivisions...
}

In this case I’m using the world map. now search for “Italy” subdivions and replace it with ts corresponding variable italy_var, do the same for Deutchland with germany_var and so on for all the other subdivions.

Just let me know if it make sense.
Thank you for using RVM.
