This plugin adds a new variant called {language} that can be used to style elements based on their language. This can be useful for creating multilingual websites or applications.
-
Install the plugin using npm or Yarn:
# Using npm npm install -D @gloriousky/tailwindcss-localization # Using Yarn yarn add -D @gloriousky/tailwindcss-localization
-
Add the plugin to your
tailwind.config.jsfile. The default language is bn (Chinese traditional). You can add as many language as you like using thelanguagesoption in theme configuration.// tailwind.config.js module.exports = { theme: { languages: ["tw", "en"], }, plugins: [require("@gloriousky/tailwindcss-localization")], };
-
The plugin assumes that you have a
langattribute in your HTML tag and it is handles by your application or website. You can then use the{language}variant in your HTML like this:<html lang="en"> <body> <h1 class="en:text-lg">Hello, world!</h1> </body> </html>
This will generate in the following CSS:
[lang="en"] .en\:text-lg { font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.75rem; }
If you want a prefix that is different from the attribute value, specify the languages as an object:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
languages: {
taiwan: "tw",
english: "en",
},
},
plugins: [require("@gloriousky/tailwindcss-localization")],
};<html lang="en">
<body>
<h1 class="english:text-lg">Hello, world!</h1>
<p class="taiwan:text-lg">Hello, world!</p>
</body>
</html>This will generate in the following CSS:
[lang="en"] .english\:text-lg {
font-size: 1.125rem;
line-height: 1.75rem;
}
[lang="tw"] .taiwan\:text-lg {
font-size: 1.125rem;
line-height: 1.75rem;
