This package includes utilities for working with different languages in the browser. This package works for client side rendered applications as well as for server side rendered applications.
First, you have to install the package:
npm install @aboutbits/internationalizationSecond, you can setup the tool with all supported languages and the fallback language and then detect the given browser language.
import { Internationalization } from '@aboutbits/internationalization'
let supportedLanguages = ['en', 'de', 'it']
let fallbackLanguage = 'en'
let i18n = new Internationalization(supportedLanguages, fallbackLanguage)
// Fetches the language only from the user's browser
let browserLanguage = i18n.detectBrowserLanguage()
// First check the cookies to see if a language is set. If not it will look in the browser.
// You can also pass a requiest obejct with which the language can be recognized already during the server side rendering
let language = i18n.detectLanguage()
// Sets a cookie with the specified language.
// There exists also a static version of this method.
// Ex. Internationalization.setLanguage("de")
i18n.setLanguage("de")
