Automate Your React/Next.js/Vite i18n in Minutes — No More Manual Work

If you’ve ever tried to internationalize a React, Vite, or Next.js project, you know it’s one of those “small” tasks that can eat days of your life.

Let’s be real — nobody gets excited about:

  • Scanning through hundreds of components,
  • Wrapping every string in t() calls,
  • Creating and maintaining endless .json files,
  • Making sure everything stays in sync.

That’s why I started using i18nify.online — and it completely changed how I handle i18n.


A Typical Example

Here’s a real (simplified) component before i18n:

export default function Dashboard() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome back, John!</h1>
      <p>You have 3 new notifications.</p>
      <button>View all</button>
    </div>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now, let’s make it multilingual the old way:

Import useTranslation().

Wrap each string manually.

Create a en.json, fr.json, etc.

Keep them in sync forever.

Time: 10-20 minutes per file on a big project.

With i18nify.online
Here’s what you do:

Upload your project to i18nify.online.

Wait a few seconds.

Download your i18n-ready code.

Result (After Processing)

Copier
Modifier
import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';

export default function Dashboard() {
  const { t } = useTranslation();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{t('Welcome_back_John')}</h1>
      <p>{t('You_have_3_new_notifications.')}</p>
      <button>{t('View_all')}</button>
    </div>
  );
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And here’s the generated en.json:

Copier
Modifier
{
  "Welcome_back_John": "Welcome back, John!",
  "You_have_3_new_notifications.": "You have 3 new notifications.",
  "View_all": "View all"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
