reactjsHow can I use ReactJS to internationalize my web application?


To internationalize a web application with ReactJS, the recommended way is to use a library like react-intl which provides React components and an API to format dates, numbers, and strings, including pluralization and handling translations.

import { FormattedMessage } from 'react-intl';

<FormattedMessage
  id="welcome"
  defaultMessage="Welcome to React"
/>

This code will render Welcome to React on the page.

Code explanation

  1. import { FormattedMessage } from 'react-intl'; - This line imports the FormattedMessage component from the react-intl library.
  2. <FormattedMessage - This is a React component which is used to render translated messages.
  3. id="welcome" - This is the unique identifier for the message.
  4. defaultMessage="Welcome to React" - This is the default message which will be rendered if the message is not found in the translations.
  5. /> - This is the closing tag of the component.
