Customizing language and text in Leaflet.draw
Leaflet.draw uses the L.drawLocal
configuration object to set any text used in the plugin. Customizing this will allow support for changing the text or supporting another language.
See Leaflet.draw.js for the default strings.
E.g.
// Set the button title text for the polygon button LdrawLocaldrawtoolbarbuttonspolygon = 'Draw a sexy polygon!'; // Set the tooltip start text for the rectangle LdrawLocaldrawhandlersrectangletooltipstart = 'Not telling...';

Thanks
Touch friendly version of Leaflet.draw was created by Michael Guild (https://github.com/michaelguild13).
The touch support was initiated due to a demand for it at National Geographic for their Map Maker Projected (http://mapmaker.education.nationalgeographic.com/) that was created by Michael Guild and Daniel Schep (https://github.com/dschep)
Thanks so much to @brunob, @tnightingale, and @shramov. I got a lot of ideas from their Leaflet plugins.
All the contributors and issue reporters of this plugin rock. Thanks for tidying up my mess and keeping the plugin on track.
The icons used for some of the toolbar buttons are either from http://glyphicons.com/ or inspired by them. <3 Glyphicons!
Finally, @mourner is the man! Thanks for dedicating so much of your time to create the gosh darn best JavaScript mapping library around.
