[jQuery] JSON data issue in IE | Language Translation

[Arif]

Hi All,

Hope, you all would be doing well.

I am trying to create a language translation utility using jQuery for
some specific words only, seems working fine in Firefox but don’t do
well in IE 6/7.

Given is the JSON file, where I map headings which needs to be
translated in French.

JSON Data:
{
  "download" : "télécharger",
  "categories" : "sujets d'actualité",
  "recent_comments" : "mais que l'histoire de l'",
  "recent posts" : "Messages Récents",
  "also worthy" : "aussi digne",
  "archieves" : "archives",
}

I am able to load my JSON file successfully using $.getJSON(), it
translates in FF but does not do the same in IE 6/7.


jQuery Method:
function loadJSON(){
        $.getJSON("json/data_ca_fr.json", function(json){
                $(".json_trans").each(function(i){ //getting all the headings to
translate
                        switch($(".json_trans")[i].innerHTML) {
                          case "Download": // Start here if 
$(".json_trans")[i].innerHTML
== "download"
                                $(".json_trans")[i].innerHTML = json.download;  
                        break;// Stop
here
                          case "Categories": // Start here if 
$(".json_trans")[i].innerHTML
== "download"
                                $(".json_trans")[i].innerHTML = json.categories;
                                break;// Stop here
                          default
                                break;
                        }
                })
        });
}

I am just comparing English words in the page through innerHTML
because jQuery html() return the first array index only , defined
span tag with .json_trans class for picking up all the required spans
and do the translation.

I know, it’s not the robust way to do the language translation  but
does require for client and it’s not AJAX at all, just calling the
json file on dom ready.

Any quick pointer/ suggestion should be appreciated.

Thanks for your time
