Forked From

This Package is originally published to ex-react-native-i18n Since there is major change from expo sdk version 35. Just fix that change.

ex-rn-i18n for Expo sdk 35 ~

Integrates I18n.js with React Native and Expo. Uses the device's locale as default.

Automatic setup

$ npm install ex-react-native-i18n --save

or

$ yarn add ex-react-native-i18n

Usage

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.

Fallbacks

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!.

Device's locale

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.
