Presenting the svelte wrapper for i18next.
This library, based on i18next, wraps an i18next instance inside a svelte store and observes the i18next events like languageChanged
, resource added
, etc. to be able to render our svelte components.

Implementation
This library wraps an i18next instance in a Svelte Store to observe i18next events so your Svelte components re-render e.g. when language is changed or a new resource is loaded by i18next.
Quick Start
i18n.js
:
import i18next from "i18next";
import { createI18nStore } from "svelte-i18next";
i18next.init({
lng: 'en',
resources: {
en: {
translation: {
"key": "hello world"
}
}
},
interpolation: {
escapeValue: false, // not needed for svelte as it escapes by default
}
});
export const i18n = createI18nStore(i18next);
App.svelte
:
<script>
import i18n from './i18n.js';
</script>
<div>
{$i18n.t('key')}
</div>
See full example project: Svelte example
The implementation looks like this:
The package creates a Svelte writable of i18next and listens to the events triggered by any updates on the i18next instance.
For example, if an application loads a new namespace for their translations, the svelte_i18next package will trigger the
i18next.on(‘loaded’, function(loaded) {})
event.
Check the i18next events here.
Usage:
i18n.js
import i18next from "i18next";
import { createI18nStore } from "svelte-i18next";
i18next.init({
lng: 'en',
resources: {
en: {
translation: {
"key": "hello world"
}
}
}
});
export const i18n = createI18nStore(i18next);
App.svelte
<script>
import i18n from './i18n.js';
</script>
<div>
{$i18n.t('key')}}
</div>
See a example usage here: Svelte example
You could also use namespaces as you would using i18next and the svelte wrapper will re-render the translations based on the namespace provided.
import { createI18nStore } from 'svelte-i18next'
const i18n = createI18nStore(i18n_instance)
i18n.loadNamespaces(['example']) // this triggers the re-render and loads translations from the provided namespace.
<div>
{$i18n.t(key)}
</div>
Into svelte? Dealing with localisation?
