i18next
Overview
i18next is the most popular JS i18n framework. Works with React, Vue, Angular, Node.js. Features: namespace splitting, lazy loading, plurals, interpolation, context, and backend plugins for remote translations.
Instructions
Step 1: React Setup
import i18n from 'i18next'
import { initReactI18next } from 'react-i18next'
import HttpBackend from 'i18next-http-backend'
import LanguageDetector from 'i18next-browser-languagedetector'
i18n.use(HttpBackend).use(LanguageDetector).use(initReactI18next).init({
fallbackLng: 'en',
supportedLngs: ['en', 'de', 'fr', 'ja'],
ns: ['common', 'dashboard'],
defaultNS: 'common',
backend: { loadPath: '/locales/{{lng}}/{{ns}}.json' },
})
Step 2: Usage
import { useTranslation, Trans } from 'react-i18next'
function Dashboard() {
const { t } = useTranslation('dashboard')
return (
<div>
<h1>{t('welcome', { name: 'Alice' })}</h1>
<p>{t('projects', { count: 5 })}</p>
<Trans i18nKey="terms">Agree to <a href="/terms">Terms</a>.</Trans>
</div>
)
}
{
"welcome": "Welcome back, {{name}}!",
"projects_one": "You have {{count}} project",
"projects_other": "You have {{count}} projects"
}
Guidelines
- Split translations into namespaces by feature — don't load everything.
- Use
_one/_othersuffixes for plurals. <Trans>for translations with embedded JSX.- Language detection: browser → URL → cookie → localStorage.
- For SSR: pass language from server to avoid hydration mismatch.
