SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures your application provides a consistent and culturally appropriate experience for users worldwide by standardizing internationalization and localization practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-locale Support: Manages translations and locale-specific formatting for en-US, fr-CA, and es-US.
  • Consistent Formatting: Ensures dates, numbers, and currencies are displayed correctly based on the user's locale.
  • Use Case: When developing a new feature, use this Skill to ensure all new text strings are translatable, and that any dates or monetary values displayed are formatted according to the user's selected locale (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY in France vs. MM/DD/YYYY in the US).

Quick Start

Apply these internationalization and localization patterns when implementing translations, formatting dates, numbers, or currency, or handling locale-specific content.

Frequently Asked Questions about i18n-l10n

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I format dates and numbers for different locales in my app?

Locale-aware formatting standardizes how dates, numbers, and currency display based on user locale, such as DD/MM/YYYY for fr-CA versus MM/DD/YYYY for en-US. This ensures culturally appropriate and consistent data presentation.

What's the best way to manage translations for multi-locale support?

Multi-locale support manages translations and locale-specific content using the `useTranslation` hook. It emphasizes default values and type assertion for the `t` function to ensure translation consistency and avoid TypeScript overload issues.

Does this internationalization pattern support both Canadian French and US Spanish?

Yes, this internationalization pattern explicitly handles locale-specific content and translations for en-US, fr-CA, and es-US locales, ensuring formatting and content adapt correctly for these specific regional variations.

Why does my TypeScript `t` function throw overload errors during localization?

TypeScript overload errors occur when the `t` function lacks proper type assertion. Applying type assertion to the `t` function during translation ensures consistency and prevents these overload issues in your internationalization setup.

When do I need internationalization and localization patterns?

You need internationalization and localization patterns when developing new features that require translatable text strings or displaying dates and monetary values formatted according to a user's selected locale.

Can I use the `useTranslation` hook without default values for missing strings?

No, using default values with the `useTranslation` hook is emphasized to ensure consistency. Default values prevent missing translation strings from breaking the user interface when switching between locales.
