Tolgee i18next integration

Tolgee i18next integration. For more information about Tolgee Toolkit, visit our documentation website tolgee.io.

Installation

npm install i18next @tolgee/i18next

Usage

First, create a Tolgee instance and initialize it.

import i18next from 'i18next';
import { withTolgee } from "@tolgee/i18next";

withTolgee(i18n, { ... tolgee config ... })
  .init({ ... i18next config ... })

This will:

• use add tolgeeBackend as backend plugin
• use tolgeeProcessor for wrapping translations (with invivisible wrapperMode)
• will call tolgeeApply on i18n instance to apply listeners and register tolgee (i18n.tolgee)
• will wrap .init function with custom function, which will use tolgeeOptions to merge config with our custom config that is needed for in-context to work

We also recommend using ICU message format, which is supported by Tolgee platform.

npm install i18next-icu

import ICU from 'i18next-icu';

withTolgee(i18n, ...)
  .use(ICU)
  .init(...)

Language changing

Tolgee will automatically switch language accordingly to i18next. So to get current language do:

const lang = i18n.lang;

To set language:

i18n.changeLanguage(lang);
