Translation (render prop)
What it does
The
Translation is a render prop and gets the t function and i18n instance to your component.1
import React from 'react';
2
import { Translation } from 'react-i18next';
3
4
export function MyComponent() {
5
return (
6
<Translation>
7
{
8
(t, { i18n }) => <p>{t('my translated text')}</p>
9
}
10
</Translation>
11
)
12
}

While you most time only need the t function to translate your content you also get the i18n instance to eg. change the language.
1
i18n.changeLanguage('en-US');
