Translations

Overview

The translation utilities provide a simple, consistent way to resolve localized strings in both server and client contexts. At the core are two functions:

• createTranslation() - generates a translation function for a given locale.
• getTranslation() - convenience wrapper that returns the translation function along with the locale.

Key Features

• Resolves translation keys for a given locale.
• Falls back to the default locale if a key is missing.
• Returns the key itself if no translation exists.
• Supports nested keys via dot notation, e.g., 'page.title'.
• Supports placeholder interpolation using {placeholder} syntax.

Translation Configuration

type TranslationConfig = {
  defaultLocale: string
  translations: Record<string, Record<string, any>>
}

• defaultLocale: The fallback locale when a translation is missing.
• translations: A dictionary mapping locale codes to translation objects.

Example

const translations = {
  defaultLocale: 'ms',
  translations: {
    ms: { page: { title: 'Hai {name}' } },
    th: { page: { title: 'สวัสดี {name}' } }
  }
}
