react-i18next VS nextjs-monorepo-example

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.

react-i18next

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.

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:

If you are talking about handling translations for your application, take a look at https://react.i18next.com/

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.

With the new react-i18next version, when loading multiple namespaces, t function will infer and accept the keys for the first namespace. So this pattern is now accepted:

react-i18next

In this article I will show you how to translate your React app with React-i18next and give a few examples that you may find useful!

For info you can have a look to a setup in httpx (simple yarn 4 + workspaces) or nextjs-monorepo-example (yarn 4 workspaces + turbo + recipe for docker)

I like https://github.com/belgattitude/nextjs-monorepo-example/

It's pretty easy to setup renovate, the "update dependency XXX PR" comes with the upstream changelogs from which you can have an idea of the work to do if needed. Compared to some other similar tools: monorepo support (ie: workspace:"") + possibility to dedupe your lock file + an easy way to regroug packages (ie: "@vitest/ui" and "vitest" together). An example: https://github.com/belgattitude/nextjs-monorepo-example/blob/main/renovate.json5.

https://github.com/belgattitude/nextjs-monorepo-example Here is a very good example monorepo with a similiar usecase

Until the “flat” eslint config file becomes the standard, Here’s a nice example of how to do it.

PS: You can see there: https://github.com/belgattitude/nextjs-monorepo-example (bunch of recipes but definitely needs a cleanup) and this question https://github.com/belgattitude/nextjs-monorepo-example/discussions/2220

There is one moderately complex example monorepo that includes a Next.js project and shared lib projects here: https://github.com/belgattitude/nextjs-monorepo-example

I sometimes put some examples in https://github.com/belgattitude/nextjs-monorepo-example. It's bare-bone and offer few pros/cons (no nx, no turbo.., but you can upgrade along the way).

But if you have time, you can have a look to this https://github.com/belgattitude/nextjs-monorepo-example/blob/main/apps/web-app/src/features/demo/demo.config.ts.

- If you're using yarn 1, go yarn 3+ with "node_linker: node_modules", eventually "nmMode: hardlinks-local" and yarn workspace plugin (example of .yarnrc.yml config). You'll get some speed up and the update should not be too long to do. Note: this gives comparable speed of pnpm in my experience (whatever benchmark I read).
