Provide a consistent internationalization and localization layer for ColdBox and BoxLang applications so that user-facing strings are centralized, translations are manageable, and locale-specific formatting is correct across handlers, views, and modules.
Install and enable the cbi18n module, set defaultResourceBundle and defaultLocale in ColdBox.cfc, and call the getResource or $r helper in views to render translated strings.

To add internationalization to a ColdBox application, install the cbi18n module and configure defaultResourceBundle and defaultLocale in ColdBox.cfc. You can then retrieve and render localized strings using the getResource or $r helper in views.
Yes, the cbi18n module supports resource bundle files in both Java properties and JSON formats. You can also define multiple named bundles to organize translations for specific areas like admin panels or emails.
You can format dates, numbers, and currency for different locales in ColdBox by enabling optional Java locale-aware formatters within the cbi18n module configuration.
You can switch user locales programmatically and persist the selection by configuring the optional localeStorage setting in the cbi18n module, which maintains the chosen locale across requests.
The cbi18n module supports both positional and named substitutions for dynamic content. Translation helpers retrieve strings from bundles and inject dynamic variables into the localized output.
You can access localized resource strings programmatically by injecting the i18n service directly into your ColdBox handlers, which is useful when view helpers like getResource or $r are unavailable.
