Usage

First, you have to install the package:

npm install @aboutbits/internationalization

Second, you can setup the tool with all supported languages and the fallback language and then detect the given browser language.

import { Internationalization } from '@aboutbits/internationalization'

let supportedLanguages = ['en', 'de', 'it']
let fallbackLanguage = 'en'

let i18n = new Internationalization(supportedLanguages, fallbackLanguage)

// Fetches the language only from the user's browser
let browserLanguage = i18n.detectBrowserLanguage()

// First check the cookies to see if a language is set. If not it will look in the browser.
// You can also pass a requiest obejct with which the language can be recognized already during the server side rendering
let language = i18n.detectLanguage()

// Sets a cookie with the specified language. 
// There exists also a static version of this method. 
// Ex. Internationalization.setLanguage("de")
i18n.setLanguage("de")

console.log(browserLanguage)
console.log(language)
