use i18next offline and without webserver

Question

I got an offline js app. Now my customers wants me to translate it into another language.

My plan is to use i18next but it requires a JSON file. When I check it in Firebug it does a GET request.

We have to keep it offline no matter what... Can I use i18next offline without a web-server on all common browsers?

Thanks

@ÁlvaroG.Vicario Yea I'm just not sure because it did a get request, are you 100% sure that I can run it offline? — AME, May 07 '14 at 12:26
Your description suggests you have tested the library though a web server. Under those conditions, there's no other way it can fetch files than HTTP. Why don't you test it in your real target environment? — Álvaro González, May 07 '14 at 12:29
You can run without webserver but some browser dosenot loads the JSON in file protocol, it needs http protocol for Ajax — powercoder23, May 07 '14 at 12:31
@powercoder23 Thanks for the tip, do you know which browsers? — AME, May 07 '14 at 12:50

Sure, it works. Just add the json file in the cache manifest, and the browser will have in in the application cache.
