Window.lang is giving error when converting app to a server side rendered one

[carlosersantos]

I'm in the process of converting an existing Angular app where we were using Orejime, to a Server Side Rendered one out of necessity.
However, since the window object does not exist in the server, Orejime, specifically is breaking on the language function due to the usage of window.language (and document.documentElement.lang for the same reason that document does not exist).
Is a fix/workaround possible?

function language() {
  return window.language || document.documentElement.lang || "en";
}

Hi,
Did you consider loading Orejime on the client only?
I don't think there is a great benefit in prerendering it. Also, it is not really designed to be used on the server because it relies heavily on DOM APIs to update elements in the page.
