React GitHub Languages

Translate your React projects easily

The React GitHub language project is a simple and easy-to-use library for translating your React projects into different languages. The library directly consumes the language files from a GitHub repository.

Features & Advantages

• Multiple languages — with this library you can use as many languages as you want. All languages are listed in the language.json in your GitHub repository.

• Message variables — you can pass custom variables to any translatable message.

• No backend infrastructure required — all messages are consumed directly from the GitHub repository, you don't need a server.

• Everyone can translate — let everyone in your community help translate your projects, they can easily contribute to your GitHub language repository.

• Easy to use and simple — the library is very light and can be integrated very quickly.

Quick start

React GitHub Languages can be installed via the npm packet manager.

npm install @pretronic/react-github-languages

After the installation, create a new GitHub repository and add a new language file (en.json). An example repository can be found here.

{
  "name": "English",
  "localName": "English",
  "code": "en",
  "messages": {
    "page.description": "Today is the {today}"
  }
}

Your app can be localized very easily. Just set up the language provider and pass your variables to the message component, and finally translate your messages. You can find a clear introduction here.

import React from 'react';
import './App.css';
import {LanguageProvider, Message} from "@pretronic/react-github-languages";

export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {


    render() {
        return(<LanguageProvider repository={"Pretronic/PretronicAccountTranslations"} branch={"main"} language={"en"} >

        <div style={{display: "flex",textAlign: "center",justifyContent: "center"}}>
            <p>
                <Message name={"page.description"} variables={{today: new Date().toLocaleDateString()}} />
            </p>
        </div>

        </LanguageProvider>)
    }
}
