  • Localized tRPC errors
    3 projects | dev.to | 16 Mar 2024
    We start with a project that was bootstrapped with create-t3-app. For internationalization we use next-intl and set it up as described in the getting started guide. With this initial project setup we can jump into implementing localized error messages.
  • Translating zod errors with next-intl
    5 projects | dev.to | 5 Mar 2024
    When starting a new project with Next.js these days, next-intl and zod are my go to libraries for internationalization and schema validation, respectively. Of course, when using zod for client-facing validations I would like to translate potential error messages. The package zod-i18n can be used to achieve this for i18next, a popular alternative internationalization library. This means that by using this library as starting point one can quickly achieve zod translation with next-intl.

    As we mentioned earlier, the Next.js works well with existing i18n libraries (react-intl, lingui, next-intl, and similar). In this tutorial, we will use the react-intl.

  • Enforcing Localization through Types
    3 projects | dev.to | 20 Aug 2023
    So far, we’ve been using a utility createLocalizedString to create and use the LocalizedString type. This utility is only really practical in unit tests. For real applications, we’ll want to use a translation function from react-i18next or next-i18next to do the heavy lifting. Then we just wrap the translation functions that are provided in order to use our type:

    I will be supporting Korean as a part of the beta. I have to look deeper into https://react.i18next.com/ in order to understand what it provides. My goal is for engineers to be able to click a single button and have localizations always up to date in their codebase, not delaying shipping a new version or having to even think about it.

    would this be something like https://react.i18next.com/ but for swift? I'll pass this forward to my wife (shes a swift dev). Do you support Korean? Its been notoriously difficult to find services that support Korean. You mentioned Android, anything with Kotlin? Love to take a look :)
