next-i18next-ext

next-i18next-ext

Extended next-i18next which allows you to use translations shared between pages and load them once. SSG and SSR work great too.

Installation

npm i next-i18next-ext

Usage

1. Configure your custom Document to provide shared translations for the App

import { createGetInitialProps } from 'next-i18next-ext/server';

export default class _Document extends Document {
  static getInitialProps = createGetInitialProps(['common']);

  render() {
    ...
  }
}

Steps above are the same as for next-i18next

1. Configure your custom App

import { appWithTranslation } from 'next-i18next-ext';

const _App = ({ Component, pageProps }) => {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />;
};

export default appWithTranslation(_App);

1. You also able to use page-level translations

import { serverSideTranslations } from 'next-i18next-ext/server';

export const getStaticProps = async ({ locale }) => {
  return {
    props: {
      ...(await serverSideTranslations(locale, ['main-page'])),
    },
  };
};

1. Use translation

import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';

export const Footer = () => {
  const { t } = useTranslation('common');
  return (
    <footer>
      {t('description')}
    </footer>
  );
};
