# Overview

The following example implements the @handsontable/vue component with the option to change the Context Menu language configured. Select a language from the selector above the table and open the Context Menu to see the result.

TIP

Note that the language property is bound to the component separately using language={this.language}", but it could be included in the settings property just as well.

# Example - Select language

import Vue from 'vue';
import { HotTable } from '@handsontable/vue';
import { getLanguagesDictionaries } from 'handsontable/i18n';
import { registerAllModules } from 'handsontable/registry';
import { createSpreadsheetData } from './helpers';

// register Handsontable's modules
registerAllModules();

new Vue({
  el: '#example1',
  data() {
    return {
      hotSettings: {
        data: createSpreadsheetData(5, 10),
        colHeaders: true,
        rowHeaders: true,
        contextMenu: true,
        height: 'auto',
        licenseKey: 'non-commercial-and-evaluation'
      },
      language: 'en-US'
    }
  },
  mounted() {
    this.getAllLanguageOptions();
  },
  methods: {
    getAllLanguageOptions() {
      const allDictionaries = getLanguagesDictionaries();
      const langSelect = document.querySelector('#languages');
      langSelect.innerHTML = '';

      for (let language of allDictionaries) {
        langSelect.innerHTML += `<option value="${language.languageCode}">${language.languageCode}</option>`
      }
    },
    updateHotLanguage(event) {
      this.language = event.target.value;
    }
  },
  components: {
    HotTable
  }
});
