Hey everyone! I’m excited to share my latest project—the Random Joke Card Generator. This little app is a fun way to brighten your day with random jokes, but there’s something special about it. Not only does it deliver laughs, but it’s also built with Tolgee, a tool that makes it super easy to translate and localize apps for people all over the world. So, no matter where you are, you can enjoy the jokes in your language!

Why I Chose Tolgee
Tolgee is an open-source tool that takes the headache out of translating apps. It’s all about making localization simple for developers. Instead of worrying about language files and tricky code, Tolgee lets you focus on building your app’s features. It offers an intuitive interface to manage translations and seamlessly switch between languages in real time.
When building the Joke Generator, I wanted to make sure anyone, anywhere, could use it, and Tolgee made that possible.
What Does the Random Joke Card Generator Do?
Generate Random Jokes:
The main function of the app is pretty straightforward—get a random joke with just one click! It fetches jokes from an external API and displays them in a sleek card. And if the current joke isn’t quite doing it for you, just click the “New Joke” button to refresh and get another one.
Language Localization:
The coolest part? The app can be used in different languages! Thanks to Tolgee, you can easily switch between languages, and the entire app will update in real-time. Whether your friends speak English, Spanish, French, or another language, they can enjoy the same experience.
How Tolgee Makes Localization Easy
Tolgee streamlines the localization process, providing a visual translation tool that allows both developers and translators to work more efficiently. Here's how it helps in the Random Joke Card Generator project:
- Translation Management: Tolgee provides an in-app translation tool that makes it easy to manage and edit translations while the app is running.
- Dynamic Language Switching: Users can switch between languages, and Tolgee instantly updates the interface based on the selected language without needing to reload the page.
- Ease of Integration: Tolgee's simple integration and compatibility with React make it perfect for this project. With just a few lines of code, the app can support multiple languages.
