i18nify.online — Simplify Your React & Next.js App Internationalization with One Click

#nextjs #react #webdev #migrat

Internationalizing a React or Next.js app has always been a tedious and error-prone task... Until now._

Introducing i18nify.online — a developer-first platform designed to automatically internationalize your projects, without manually editing every file. Whether you're dealing with hardcoded strings, missing hooks, or inconsistent imports, i18nify.online handles it for you.

What Is i18nify.online?

i18nify.online is a browser-based platform that scans your React, Vite, or Next.js project, detects untranslated content, and injects i18n support using react-i18next — all automatically.

This isn’t just a translation helper — it's a full AST-based code transformer that does the heavy lifting for you.

Key Features

Detects project type: React, Vite, or Next.js
Parses .tsx, .jsx, .ts, and .js files using AST
Auto-injects useTranslation() and relevant import
Replaces hardcoded text with t('key') syntax
Generates JSON translation files (namespaced by component)
Supports custom namespaces and folder structures
Handles both server and client components (Next.js 13+)
Fully works in-browser — no install required

You upload your source, and i18nify takes care of transforming your code for internationalization — in seconds.

How It Works

Upload your project (locally or via GitHub link)
i18nify:
- Detects the type of project
- Parses all components
- Finds and replaces hardcoded strings
- Injects useTranslation() where needed
- Outputs the new source files + translation JSON
You review and download the updated project

This saves hours of repetitive work, and ensures i18n consistency across your app.

Use Cases

Migrating legacy React projects to i18n
Bootstrapping new apps with multilingual support
Refactoring hardcoded apps for global scale
Saving time in team workflows

Under the Hood

i18nify.online uses:

AST Parsing (Babel + custom rules)
Custom rules to handle:
- JSX with destructured props
- Arrow functions
- Server/client component boundaries
Translation key generation engine
In-browser processing (no data leaves your machine)

Example

Before:

<p>Welcome to our restaurant. Reserve now!</p>

After:

Copier
Modifier
const { t } = useTranslation();
<p>{t('homepage:welcome_message')}</p>

And in your locales/en/homepage.json:

Copier
Modifier
{
  "welcome_message": "Welcome to our restaurant. Reserve now!"
}
