Summary
Extract all user-facing strings into a translation framework to support multiple languages.
Details
- Integrate
react-i18next (or similar) for the frontend
- Extract all user-facing strings from components into translation files
- Create an initial English (
en) translation file as the base
- Set up a namespace structure (e.g.
common, auth, bins, settings)
- Add a language selector in user settings
- Store language preference in the user profile (server-side) and localStorage (client-side)
- Handle pluralization, date/number formatting per locale
- Consider RTL layout support for languages like Arabic and Hebrew
- Document the translation process for contributors
Motivation
Internationalization opens the app to a global audience and is easier to implement early before the string count grows further.
