Localization

Localizing content

All strings in the src/ files should be localized like this:

  1. Add a key-value pair in src/i18n/en.json for your string/text
  2. For HTML: add the data-i18n="your-new-key" attribute to the HTML element to be localized (replace "your-new-key" in the example)
  3. For JavaScript: call the i18next.t("your-new-key") function to retrieve the localized string (replace "your-new-key" in the example)
  4. Add any additional translations with the same key to other files in src/i18n/

Adding new languages

To add a new language

  1. Make a copy of an existing localization file (recommended: src/i18n/en.json), name it to match the new language (e.g. ja.json).
  2. Replace the translations in the file you just created.
  3. Add the new language to the array of LANGUAGES and LANGUAGE_NAMES of src/i18n/index.js.
  4. Add the appropriate date-fns locale to the imports of src/i18n/index.js, and append that locale to the LOCALES export.
