Approach to implement Internationalization in NextJS
- The application uses NextJS for server-side rendering and routing.
- Internationalization (i18n) is implemented using NextJS 13’s built-in i18n support.
- Language dictionaries are stored as JSON files (
en.json
andde.json
), containing translations for different languages. - The
Header
component handles language switching and navigation. - It imports the
getDictionary
function fromdictionary.ts
to dynamically load the correct language dictionary based on the selected locale. - The
LocaleSwitcher
component allows users to switch between different languages. - Navigation links (
home
andabout
) are dynamically translated based on the selected language. They use the translated strings fetched from the language dictionary. - Links are wrapped with NextJS
Link
component to ensure smooth client-side navigation. - The
Header
component is asynchronously rendered, allowing for dynamic loading of translations based on the selected language.
Next JS Routing: Internationalization
In today’s world websites do not have any limitations as per the regions, they serve the public throughout all continents and countries. In this constant internationalization of websites, a challenge occurs in different languages all through different countries, to solve this problem NextJS has come out with internationalization in NextJS.
In internationalization, users can design and develop applications to support multiple languages in a single platform. NextJS, a popular framework of ReactJS applications provides support for internationalization, making it easier for the developer to create multi-language applications.
