Installation

npm install i18n-lazy
# or
yarn add i18n-lazy

Quick Start

1. Initialize configuration:

npx i18n-lazy-init

2. Update the generated i18n-lazy.config.js with your settings:

export default {
  supportedLocales: [
    { code: "en", name: "English" },
    { code: "es", name: "Spanish" },
    // Add more languages as needed
  ],
  pathToLocales: "./src/locales", // Where translation files will be stored
  parseFolder: ["./src"], // Folders to scan for translations
  geminiApiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY", // Your Gemini API key
};

3. Create translation files in the ./src/locales directory, and create a new json file for each language. For example, ./src/locales/en.json and ./src/locales/es.json.

and place empty translation objects in the files.

{
  //empty
}

4. Wrap your app with the TranslationProvider:

import { LazyI18nProvider, LanguageCodeToTranslations } from "i18n-lazy";
import translations from "./locales/en.json";
import en from "./locales/en.json";
import es from "./locales/es.json";

export const translations: LanguageCodeToTranslations = {
  en: en,
  es: es,
};

function App() {
  return (
    <LazyI18nProvider localeCode="en" translationsObject={translations["en"]}>
      <YourApp />
    </LazyI18nProvider>
  );
}

5. Use translations in your components:

import { useLazyI18n } from "i18n-lazy";

function MyComponent() {
  const { translate } = useLazyI18n();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>
        {translate(
          "Was just interested in trying out the npm package that i have built"
        )}
      </h1>
      <h1>{translate("My name is {name}", { name: "John" })}</h1>
    </div>
  );
}

6. Generate translations:

npx i18n-lazy
