I18n-next-tools NPM

i18n-next-tools

This is a solution for managing i18n-next translations.

Install:

npm install --save i18n-next-tools

Config:

You may provide 18n-next-tools.json inside the project's root folder:

{
    "available-langs": [
      "en",
      "ru",
      "ua"
    ],
    "source": "./src",
    "resourcesFile": "src/i18n/resources.json"
  }

or you may add i18n section to your package.json file with the config above.

available-langs - languages that your app is translated to.
source - path where to search for the source files with translations.
resourcesFile - path to the file where to store scanned translations.

Use:

Firstly use translation in your code:

import { Translate } from "i18n-next-tools";
import express from 'express';

const t = Translate('onBoard');

const translatedText = t.k1('default text');
const anotherTranslatedText = t.k2('default text');

Consider calls to k1 and k2 functions. These are wrappers around i18next.t and they are also markers for the translations code scanner. Avoid using the same k function for different translations.

Now you can generate translations resource file:

npx i18nt-create-translations

This will scan all your ts and tsx files and will create at resource file at the resourcesFile location. If resourcesFile already exists it will: 1. remove unused keys from it 2. add new keys to it 3. leave translation for already existed keys untouched
