i18next is a very popular internationalization library for browser or any other javascript environment (eg. node.js). i18next is exported in UMD format and can be loaded via commonjs, requirejs (AMD) or will be added to global scope window.i18next.

Load Resources Using XHR

This example demonstrates direct language switching on click or change event. Every time the link is clicked, i18next loads json file with selected language and initialize translation again, so new language appears without page reload.
