Spoken Languages
Remember earlier we said that you can write your Gherkin features in the spoken language of your stakeholders? Here’s how.
Putting a # language: comment on the first line of a feature file tells Cucumber which spoken language that feature is written in. If you omit this header, Cucumber will default to English, as you’ve already seen.
Here’s an example of a feature written in Norwegian:
| | # language: no |
| | Egenskap: Summering |
| | For å unngå at firmaet går konkurs |
| | Må regnskapsførerere bruke en regnemaskin for å legge sammen tall |
| | |
| | Scenario: to tall |
| | Gitt at jeg har tastet inn 5 |
| | Og at jeg har tastet inn 7 |
| | Når jeg summerer |
| | Så skal resultatet være 12 |
