Internationalization for Next.js

Support multiple languages, with your app code becoming simpler instead of more complex.

import {useTranslations} from 'next-intl'; export default function UserProfile({user}) {  const t = useTranslations('UserProfile');   return (    <section>      <h1>{t('title', {firstName: user.firstName})}</h1>      <p>{t('membership', {memberSince: user.memberSince})}</p>      <p>{t('followers', {count: user.numFollowers})}</p>    </section>  );}

Batteries included, minimalistic API

Internationalization (i18n) is an essential part of the user experience, therefore next‑intl gives you all the parts you need to get language nuances right.

{  "UserProfile": {    "title": "{firstName}'s profile",    "followers": "{count, plural, ↵                    =0 {No followers yet} ↵                    =1 {One follower} ↵                    other {# followers} ↵                  }"

ICU message syntax

Localize your messages with interpolation, cardinal & ordinal plurals, enum-based label selection and rich text.

// "Feb 28, 2023"format.dateTime(lastSeen, 'medium'); // "2 hours ago"format.relativeTime(lastSeen); // "$1,499.90"format.number(1499.9, {style: 'currency', currency: 'USD'});

Dates, times & numbers

Apply appropriate formatting without worrying about server/client differences like time zones.

function UserProfile({user}) {  const t = useTranslations('UserProfile');   return (    <section>      <h1>{t(''
title
followers)}</h1>    </section>  );}

Type-safe

Speed up development with autocompletion for message keys and catch typos early with compile-time checks.

const t = useTranslations('UserProfile'); t('followers', {count: user.followers.length}); // stringt.rich('bio', {b: (chunks) => <b>{chunks}</b>}); // ReactNode const format = useFormatter();const timeZone = useTimeZone();const locale = useLocale();const now = useNow();

Hooks-based API

Learn a single API that can be used across your code base to turn translations into plain strings or rich text.

“We love next-intl. We've adopted it on the Node.js website along with Next.js' App Router. From all the i18n solutions out there for React and Next.js, so far the API and the design of next-intl has definitely become my favorite.”
