solid-i18next

Experimental - This library is still in early development. APIs may change and things might be buggy.

i18next integration for Solid.js with reactive hooks, a <Trans> component, and built-in Suspense support.

Install

npm install solid-i18next i18next

Usage

Setup i18next

import i18next from "i18next";

i18next.init({
  lng: "en",
  fallbackLng: "en",
  resources: {
    en: { translation: { welcome: "Welcome, <bold>{{name}}</bold>!" } },
    de: { translation: { welcome: "Willkommen, <bold>{{name}}</bold>!" } },
  },
});

Translate with hooks

import { useTranslation } from "solid-i18next";

function App() {
  const [t, i18n] = useTranslation();

  return (
    <div>
      <p>{t("welcome", { name: "Alice" })}</p>
      <button onClick={() => i18n().changeLanguage("de")}>Deutsch</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Translate with components

Use <Trans> to embed components inside translations:

import { Trans } from "solid-i18next";

<Trans
  key="welcome"
  replace={{ name: "Alice" }}
  components={{
    bold: ({ children }) => <strong>{children}</strong>,
  }}
/>

Provide a custom i18next instance

import { I18nextProvider } from "solid-i18next";

<I18nextProvider i18n={i18next}>
  <App />
</I18nextProvider>
