Javascript Programming Tutorials, Guides & Best Practices

import React from 'react';
import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
import { routes } from './routes';
import './i18n';

const LanguageSwitcher = () => {
  const { i18n } = useTranslation();
  const navigate = useNavigate();

  const switchLang = (lang) => {
    const currentPath = window.location.pathname;
    const currentPage = currentPath.split('/')[1];

    i18n.changeLanguage(lang).then(() => {
      // Re-map path using new language
      const t = i18n.getFixedT(lang);
      const mappedRoutes = {
        en: { accueil: 'home', 'a-propos': 'about-us' },
        fr: { home: 'accueil', 'about-us': 'a-propos' },
      };

      const newPath = `/${mappedRoutes[lang][currentPage] || ''}`;
      navigate(newPath);
    });
  };

  return (
    <div className="lang-switch">
      <button onClick={() => switchLang('en')}>EN</button>
      <button onClick={() => switchLang('fr')}>FR</button>
    </div>
  );
};

const App = () => {
  const { t } = useTranslation();

  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <LanguageSwitcher />
      <Routes>
        {routes(t).map((route, idx) => (
          <Route key={idx} path={route.path} element={route.element} />
        ))}
      </Routes>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
};

export default App;

Create pages/Home.js:

const formatCurrency = (value, lng) => {
  const currency = lng === 'ar' ? 'EGP' : 'USD';
  return new Intl.NumberFormat(lng, {
    style: 'currency',
    currency
  }).format(value);
};

Languages like Arabic and Hebrew need RTL layouts. Use CSS:

npm install i18next react-i18next i18next-browser-languagedetector

Create a new file: src/i18n.js

• Increased complexity
• More testing needed (integration)
• SEO handling is trickier in client-rendered apps

To improve Google indexing:

   npm install zustand

   import create from 'zustand';

   const useStore = create((set) => ({
     count: 0,
     increase: () => set((state) => ({ count: state.count + 1 })),
     decrease: () => set((state) => ({ count: state.count - 1 })),
   }));
