react-i18next VS jsLingui

The most apps I've worked with, have two languages at least so the next challenge was to find a library among many to get the job done. After spending hours, react-i18next attracted my attention however after reading the documentation, I realized I should write a simple library because I didn't want to spend hours to learn a package for doing a simple job and also load many packages.

Internalization your React app, provide app language support or translate the app into multiple languages using i18next, react-118next

This approach works particularly well for growing applications, allowing team members to work on different features without conflicts. For more information, check out the documentation for react-i18next, i18next, and js-cookie.

Multi-language support: Simplify multi-language support in your apps. 🌍 Features include lazy loading, pluralization, and advanced formatting for smooth localization. 🔗react.i18next.com/

In a recent project I've been using react-i18next so I'll use its syntax for the examples, but pretty much every library works similarly.

i18next - You can find documentation and resources for using i18next at react.i18next.com. i18next is a popular internationalization framework for JavaScript, including React. It provides a comprehensive solution for handling translations, formatting, and more.

We choose lingui.

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.

We use LinguiJS on a medium sized project and find it to work really well. It’s small, supports multiple message formats, has CLI scripts for extracting message ids from source, JS apis, Babel macros, React components and hooks, webpack and snowpack plugins, good pluralization support and much more.

I really like https://lingui.js.org/. It will create the .json or .po for you. And the component is just 😍.

I'm a fan of Lingui. I use it for instant.bible.
