Strict Internationalization (i18n)

To prevent hard-coded strings in frontend components, you must enforce strict internationalization (i18n) by mandating the use of translation hooks and managing all user-facing text through language JSON files.

The best way to manage translation keys across multiple language files is to establish a strict workflow that adds new keys to the primary JSON file first, ensuring synchronization across all localized language JSON files.

You use next-intl for internationalization by applying the useTranslations hook for client components and the getTranslations function for server components to fetch localized strings.

You should avoid embedding user-facing text directly because hard-coded strings prevent proper internationalization, making it difficult to localize your web application for global audiences and add new languages later.

Yes, you can use next-intl to synchronize UI text by defining a clear workflow that adds new translation keys to your primary language file and subsequently propagating them to all other language JSON files.
