i18next instance

Last updated 11 days ago

The instance is an initialized i18next instance. In the following code snippet, we add a backend to load translations from server and a language detector for detecting user language.
You can learn more about i18next and plugins on the i18next website.
import i18n from 'i18next';
import XHR from 'i18next-xhr-backend';
import LanguageDetector from 'i18next-browser-languagedetector';
import { initReactI18next } from 'react-i18next';
​
​
i18n
  .use(XHR)
  .use(LanguageDetector)
  .use(initReactI18next) // bind react-i18next to the instance
  .init({
    fallbackLng: 'en',
    debug: true,
​
    interpolation: {
      escapeValue: false, // not needed for react!!
    },
​
    // react i18next special options (optional)
    /*
    react: {
      bindI18n: 'languageChanged loaded'
    }
    */
  });
​
​
export default i18n;
