Language fields

When supporting a new language on your application, you will need to use the Locale type. It allows you to define translations for various text elements, making your app accessible to a global audience.

Type Definition

The Locale has two main properties, the language and its messages. Here is how it’s built:

{
	language: "da",
	messages: { 
		username: "brugernavn",
		loading: "indlæser...",
		// Add more messages as needed
	}
}

Check out the description of each field:

Name	Type	Description
language	string	Required. Represents the language you are adding to the application. It should adhere to the ISO 639-1 standard. Example values include en for English and es for Spanish.
messages	-	Required. An object that describes user messages and their translations.

Each locale should include the language name and its corresponding messages. Here's an example:

The complete list of fields for each component can be found in the documentation.

Messages

Here, you'll find the existing messages presented as key-value pairs. It's important to keep the keys and make updates only to the associated values.

Placeholders

In certain messages, it uses placeholders to dynamically insert values. For instance, in the spectators translation, {count} is a placeholder that can be replaced with an actual number. To ensure proper functionality, it's essential not to alter the text within the curly braces.
