        <title>{{-echo @title}}</title><!-- outputs: "Üdv Világ" -->
    </head> 
    <body>

        <p>{{-echo 'How are you?'}}</p> <!-- outputs: "Hogy vagy?" -->
    </body>
</html>

Example Usage in Client Side JS

You will need to include the dictionary.js files which is autogenerated for you in:

/your_app/resources/scripts/dictionary.js

This is how it looks like:

<!DOCTYPE html/>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Piece of Cake</title>
        <!-- Just Include the Auto Generated dictionary.js file -->
        <script src="/scripts/dictionary.js"></script> 
        
        <!-- Then start using the echo function to translate things -->
        <script>
            var message = echo('Hello World');
            alert(message); // alerts: "Üdv Világ"
        </script> 
    </head>
    <body>diet is awesome</body>
</html>

You can see what's the current language in window.language set within dictionary.js. You can change the language by changing response.head.language in html and response.cookies.set('language', 'yourLanguage') for client side javacsript.
