i18next is an internationalization framework written in and for JavaScript.[3] It's a library that can be integrated into any application code.[4] It provides methods for product localization and other standard i18n features[5] like interpolation, formatting, and handling plurals and context.[6] It can be used with Node.js, Deno,[7] PHP, iOS, Android, and other platforms.[8] i18next feels like “learn once – translate everywhere.”[9]
History
i18next was created by its open source creators Jan Mühlemann and Adriano Raiano[7] in 2011, because they were in search of an internalization library that allows them to run both on server-side Node.js and client-side single-page applications. In 2015, version 2 was released with a complete rebuild of i18next. Later on, react-i18next was introduced.[10] While i18next provides a translation engine, the react-i18next offers hooks and components for managing translations in React components.[11]
After creating i18next, the same creators founded a new service called locize. The localization as a service is a translation management system built around the i18next ecosystem.[7]
Features
i18next claims to provide the following:
- Flexible connection to a backend
- Optional caching, user language detection
- Proper pluralizations
- Translation context
- Nesting, variable replacement
- Flexibility: Use it everywhere[7]
