Project Description

With the fast-growing number of businesses operating internationally, there’s an ever-increasing demand for information to be presented to users in their preferred language. In this project, we’ll explore the steps involved in internationalization (i18next) and content localization using Next.js. 

We’ll learn how to effectively handle right-to-left (RTL) languages utilizing two important libraries Intl.LocaleMatcher and Negotiator to get a user’s preferred locale. We’ll also create a language switcher to toggle the different locales while persisting the locale preference via cookies, giving us a well-rounded understanding of internationalization in Next.js.

The final layout of the application should look like the following:
