Internationalization in Ignite Apps

Ignite is currently set up to support Internationalization in English, Arabic, Korean, French, Japanese and Hindi. This is detected on app load and will set your app to that language.

Right to Left languages (RTL)​

Since Ignite already comes with an RTL language, Arabic, adding any new ones would work by default.

Removing RTL Support​

To remove RTL support, follow the following steps:

  1. In /app/i18n/i18n.ts
  • Remove your RTL language imports
  • Remove references to those language objects
  • Remove lines where we allow and force RTL on the native layer
I18nManager.allowRTL(isRTL)
I18nManager.forceRTL(isRTL)
  1. Remove all other associated logic that uses the exported isRTL variable
  2. Remove any tx="some:i18n.key" from your components and use text="Some Text" instead (e.g. <Text text="Some Text" />

Adding more languages​

See the i18next Documentation to add languages to app/i18n/i18n.ts.
