1. Installation <a name=”installation”></a>
To start using Lungeage in your React.js project, you can install it via npm or yarn:

Basic Setup <a name=”basic-setup”></a>
Advanced Reactjs Language Localization and Internationalization Documentation. To use Lungeage, you need to wrap your application with the LungeageProvider component. This provider should be placed at the root of your component tree.
Advanced Reactjs Language Localization and Internationalization Documentation In the example above, we pass the default language and translations to the LungeageProvider. The translations the prop should be an object containing key-value pairs where the keys represent the translation keys and the values represent the translated strings.
Translation <a name=”translation”></a>
To translate text within your components, you can use the useTranslate hook provided by Lungeage. This hook returns a translation function that can be used to retrieve translated strings based on the current language.
In the example above, the translation key 'greeting' is passed to the t function to retrieve the translated string.
Dynamic Language Switching <a name=”dynamic-language-switching”></a>
The language supports dynamic language switching within your application. You can use the useLanguage hook to get the current language and a setLanguage function to change the language.
3. Advanced Features <a name=”advanced-features”></a>
Language provides several advanced features to enhance your multilingual React.js applications. These features include nested translations, contextual translations, external translation files, and custom language switchers.
Nested Translations <a name=”nested-translations”></a>
The language supports nested translations, allowing you to organize your translations in a hierarchical structure. This can be useful when dealing with complex applications with multiple components and nested UI elements.
In the example above, the translation keys 'profile.name', 'profile.description', and 'profile.contact.email' represent nested translations. The translations object should be structured accordingly to provide the corresponding translations.
Contextual Translations <a name=”contextual-translations”></a>
Language allows you to define contextual translations, which are translations that vary based on the context in which they are used. This can be helpful when a single word or phrase has different translations depending on the context.
In the example above, the translation key 'button.save' is passed along with the context option to the t function. The context can be any string value that helps determine the appropriate translation. Make sure to define the contextual translations in your translations object.
External Translation Files <a name=”external-translation-files”></a>
Language supports loading translations from external files, allowing you to separate translations from your component code. This can be beneficial when working with a large number of translations or when collaborating with translators.
In the example above, the translations are imported from an external translations.json file and passed to the LungeageProvider. The translations.json file should contain the translation key-value pairs.
Custom Language Switcher <a name=”custom-language-switcher”></a>
Language allows you to create a custom language switcher in your application. You can use the useLanguage hook to get the current language and a setLanguage function to change the language.
In the example above, the LanguageSwitcher component uses the useLanguage hook to access
4. API Reference <a name=”api-reference”></a>
<LungeageProvider> Component
The <LungeageProvider> the component is used to wrap your application and provide the necessary context for Lungeage translations.
