• 📦 Convert JSON to CSV
• 🔵 Implement in React Js
• 🟠 Implement in Astro
• 🟢 Implement in NextJs

1. Install

npm i @neiderruiz/translate-files

import { translateFileCsv } from "@neiderruiz/translate-files";

• or

const { translateFileCsv } = require("@neiderruiz/translate-files");

• usign

translateFileCsv(idDocument,routeFolderSave)

generate

🛑 If you already have a json with your translations you can use it as a base!

• separator [your key separator '&&' or '-', default is '.']
• langs [your langs translate website, default is empty ] view list{:target="_blank"}
  • example ['es', 'en', 'fr', 'gu']
• nameFile [name file result, default is 'result']

    const { convertJsonToCsv } = require("@neiderruiz/translate-files");

    const data = require('../services/lang/languages/es.json')

    convertJsonToCsv(data, {
        separator: '.', 
        langs: ['es', 'en', 'fr', 'gu'],        
        nameFile: 'my_result'
    })

2. configure translations

• import your result in Google Drive open google drive

  • after open file with google sheets

• after select keys and base, and copy in your copy of next document

Open url and duplicate file in your google drive.

🟢 document base spreadsheets translations

• Share document

  • give read permission
  • copy link
  • get document ID from url

• duplicate document in your drive

• we give our copy a name

• We add our translations by editing the base column
  • key: the unique key we use in our app to translate text t('actions.save')
  • base: the text that we enter so that spreadsheets creates the translations automatically
  • es,en,it,fr: base languages ​​that the template has, you can add or remove languages

• we press share

• brings the following as a base configuration

• we update it as follows and click on done

• we extract the document id from our url

// src/utils/translate.js
const { translateFileCsv } = require("@neiderruiz/translate-files");

translateFileCsv('19sxdh1WE5RMXiuTWuMJonu81NWrewZbZ','./translations')

• add script in package.json

{
    "scripts": {
        "translate": "node src/utils/translate.js"
    }
}

• run script

npm run translate

• result

• en

• es

• fr

• de

install packages

npm i @neiderruiz/translate-files @types/i18next next-i18n-router -D

• config next.js

make translation with CSV

// ./src/utils/translate.js
const { translateFileCsv } = require("@neiderruiz/translate-files");

const documentId = 'documentId spreadsheets';
const folderSave = './src/service/languages';

translateFileCsv(documentId, folderSave, {
    separator: '.',
});

make translation with JSON

// ./src/utils/translate.js
const { translateFileJson } = require("@neiderruiz/translate-files");
const es =  require('./es.json')

const folderSave = './src/service/languages';

translateFileJson(es,folderSave, {

// package.json
{
    "scripts": {
        ...more scripts,
        "translate": "node src/utils/translate.js"
    }
}

• run get translations

npm run translate

• export all translations in index.ts

// in folderSave create (index.ts) and export your translation json

import en from './en.json';
import es from './es.json';
import fr from './fr.json';


export const resources = {
	en: {
		translation: en,
	},
	es: {
		translation: es,
	},
	fr: {
		translation: fr,
	},
};

• create i18nConfig.js ot i18nConfig.ts

// ./i18nConfig.ts
export const i18nConfig = {
    locales: ['en', 'es','fr'], // add your translations
    defaultLocale: 'es', // add your default translation
    localeDetection: true
}

• add middleware

// ./src/middleware.ts
import { i18nRouter } from "next-i18n-router";
import i18nConfig from'../i18nConfig'

export function middleware(req: any){
    return i18nRouter(req, i18nConfig)
}

export const config = {
    matcher:  "/((?!api|static|.*\\..*|_next).*)"
}

• make folder [locale] in folder app

  • basic structure src/app/[locale]

• move all files in folder [locale]

  src/app/[locale]

  src/app/[locale]/layout.tsx

  src/app/[locale]/page.tsx

  src/app/[locale]/about/page.tsx

  src/app/[locale]... and more pages...

• implement Provider

// src/app/[locale]/layout.tsx

//const folderSave = './src/service/languages';
// import of folderSave resources
import { resources } from "./src/service/languages"
//or
import { resources } from "@/service/languages"

import i18nConfig from "../../../i18nConfig";

type Props ={
  children: React.ReactNode;
  params: {
    locale: string
  }
}

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
  params: { locale }
}: Readonly<Props>) {
  return (
    <html lang={locale}>
      <body>
        <TranslationsProvider
          locale={locale}
          fallbackLng={i18nConfig.locales}
          resources={resources}
        >
          {children}
        </TranslationsProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

• Create custom hook autocomplete

// ./src/hooks/useTranslation.tsx
import { FlattenKeys, useTypedTranslation } from '@neiderruiz/translate-files/next-js/hooks';
import en from '@/service/languages/en.json';
type Tylelang = typeof en

export type KeysTranslation = FlattenKeys<Tylelang>

const useTranslation = () => {
    return {
        ...useTypedTranslation<Tylelang>()
    }
}

export default useTranslation

• how use

// ./src/[locale]/about/page.tsx
"use client"
import useTranslation from '@/hooks/useTranslation';
import Link from 'next/link';

const Page = () => {
    const { t, i18n } = useTranslation();

    return <div>
        <h1>{t('actions.welcome')}</h1>     
            <Link href={`/${i18n.language}/home`}>
                frances
