This Package is originally published to ex-react-native-i18n Since there is major change from expo sdk version 35. Just fix that change.
Integrates I18n.js with React Native and Expo. Uses the device's locale as default.
$ npm install ex-react-native-i18n --save
or
$ yarn add ex-react-native-i18n
Before copy usage see this issue: https://github.com/xcarpentier/ex-react-native-i18n/issues/7
import I18n from "react-native-i18n";
class Demo extends React.Component {
// Async call to init the locale
componentWillMount() {
I18n.initAsync();
}
render() {
return <Text>{I18n.t("greeting")}</Text>;
}
}
// Enable fallbacks if you want `en-US` and `en-GB` to fallback to `en`
I18n.fallbacks = true;
I18n.translations = {
en: {
greeting: "Hi!",
},
fr: {
greeting: "Bonjour!",
},
};
This will render Hi!
for devices with the English locale, and Bonjour!
for devices with the French locale.
When fallbacks are enabled (which is generally recommended), i18n.js
will try to look up translations in the following order (for a device with en_US
locale):
- en-US
- en
Note: iOS locales use underscored (en_US
) but i18n.js
locales are dasherized (en-US
). This conversion is done automatically for you.
I18n.fallbacks = true;
I18n.translations = {
en: {
greeting: "Hi!",
},
"en-GB": {
greeting: "Hi from the UK!",
},
};
For a device with a en_GB
locale this will return Hi from the UK!'
, for a device with a en_US
locale it will return Hi!
.
You can get the device's locale with the RNI18n
native module:
import I18n from "ex-react-native-i18n";
const deviceLocale = I18n.locale;
Returns en-US
.
For more info about I18n.js methods (localize
, pluralize
, etc) and settings see its documentation.
