The Translation
is a render prop and gets the t
function and i18n
instance to your component.
import React from 'react';import { Translation } from 'react-i18next';export function MyComponent() {return (<Translation>{(t, { i18n }) => <p>{t('my translated text')}</p>}</Translation>)}
While you most time only need the t function to translate your content you also get the i18n instance to eg. change the language.
i18n.changeLanguage('en-US');
The Translation
render prop will trigger a Suspense if not ready (eg. pending load of translation files). You can set useSuspense
to false if prefer not using Suspense.
Use the Translation
render prop inside any component (class or function) to access the translation function or i18n instance.
// load a specific namespace// the t function will be set to that namespace as default<Translation ns="ns1">{(t) => <p>{t('my translated text')}</p> // will be looked up from namespace ns1}</Translation>// load multiple namespaces// the t function will be set to first namespace as default<Translation ns={['ns1', 'ns2', 'ns3']}>{(t) => <p>{t('my translated text')}</p> // will be looked up from namespace ns1}</Translation>
// passing in an i18n instance// use only if you do not like the default instance// set by i18next.use(initReactI18next) or the I18nextProviderimport i18n from './i18n';<Translation i18n={i18n}>{(t, { i18n }) => <p>{t('my translated text')}</p> // will be looked up from namespace ns1}</Translation>
