Javascript Programming Tutorials, Guides & Best Practices

import i18n from 'i18next';
import { initReactI18next } from 'react-i18next';
import LanguageDetector from 'i18next-browser-languagedetector';

import en from './locales/en.json';
import fr from './locales/fr.json';

i18n
  .use(LanguageDetector)
  .use(initReactI18next)
  .init({
    resources: { en: { translation: en }, fr: { translation: fr } },
    fallbackLng: 'en',
    interpolation: {
      escapeValue: false,
    },
  });

export default i18n;

Sample en.json:

Use react-i18next to add multilingual support:

npm install i18next react-i18next i18next-browser-languagedetector

In large apps, structure your translation files modularly:

/locales
  /en
    home.json
    dashboard.json
  /fr
    home.json
    dashboard.json

Install dependencies for Webpack configuration:

npm install -D webpack webpack-cli webpack-dev-server html-webpack-plugin

While both Zustand and Redux serve the purpose of state management in React applications, they differ significantly in their approach and complexity.

Zustand's simplicity and performance make it a compelling choice for projects where Redux might be overkill.
