Locale Customizations

Inji Web offers multi-lingual support. At present, 3 Indian and 3 international Languages are supported.

1. English

2. Arabic

3. French

4. Tamil

5. Hindi

6. Kannada

Steps to support a new language

1. Under locales folder, localization of a particular language JSON file has to be added.

2. Language JSON has to be imported in i18n.ts and load the resources to i18next as follows:

• import ta from './locales/ta.json';

• const resources = { en, fr, ar, hi, kn, ta };

1. Ensure the language display mapping is done in the LanguagesSupported variable in i18n.ts

   export const LanguagesSupported: LanguageObject[] = [
       {label: "English", value: 'en'},
       {label: "தமிழ்", value: 'ta'},
       {label: "ಕನ್ನಡ", value: 'kn'},
       {label: "हिंदी", value: 'hi'},
       {label: "Français", value: 'fr'},
       {label: "عربي", value: 'ar'}
   ]

2. To use with react, must include the key with the 't' function <Text>{t('editLabel')}</Text>

About libraries

Below specified libraries are used in the Inji Web react project to support localization:

1. i18next: i18next is an internationalization framework. It provides the standard i18n features such as plurals, context, interpolation, and format. It provides a complete solution to localize products in the web.

2. react-i18next: react-i18next is a set of components, hooks, and plugins that sit on top of i18next, and is specifically designed for React.
