- React Intl integration with custom App component
<IntlProvider>
creation withlocale
,messages
props- Default message extraction via
@formatjs/cli
integration - Pre-compile messages into AST with
babel-plugin-formatjs
for performance - Translation management
This app stores translations and default strings in the lang/
dir. The default messages (en.json
in this example app) is also generated by the following script.
$ npm run i18n:extract
This file can then be sent to a translation service to perform localization for the other locales the app should support.
The translated messages files that exist at lang/*.json
are only used during production, and are automatically provided to the <IntlProvider>
. During development the defaultMessage
s defined in the source code are used. To prepare the example app for localization and production run the build script and start the server in production mode:
$ npm run build
$ npm start
You can then switch your browser's language preferences to German or French and refresh the page to see the UI update accordingly.
