  import { useTranslate } from '@mi18n/vue';

  const { t } = useTranslate();
</script>

  <select
    :value="mi18n.getLanguage()"
    v-on:change="changeLanguage"
  >
    <option value="en">en</option>
    <option value="de">de</option>
  </select>
</template>

<script setup>
  import { useMi18n } from '@mi18n/vue';

  const mi18n = useMi18n(['language']);

  const changeLanguage = (e) => {
    mi18n.value.changeLanguage(e.target.value);
  };
</script>

Prerequisites

• You have some Vue-based project
• You have generated an API key from Mi18n Cloud or a self-hosted Mi18n instance.

Why to use Mi18n?

Because it saves a lot of time, you would spend on localization tasks without it. Because it enables you to provide perfectly translated software.
