gatsby-plugin-translate-urls

gatsby-plugin-translate-urls is a Gatsby plugin to translate urls

You ave two choices:

1. all locales in urls

• yoursite.com/en
• yoursite.com/fr
• yoursite.com/es

2. locales in urls except the default locale:

You need to set the defaultLocale option

• yoursite.com
• yoursite.com/fr
• yoursite.com/es

Usage

1. Download gatsby-plugin-translate-urls from the NPM registry:

yarn add gatsby-plugin-translate-urls

2. Create translations files (.js or .json)

en.json:

{
  "urls.about": "about",
  "urls.posts": "posts"
}

fr.json:

{
  "urls.about": "a-props",
  "urls.posts": "articles"
}

3. Add the plugin in your gatsby-config.js file

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: "gatsby-plugin-translate-urls",
      options: {
        translations: {
          // import JS or JSON files
          en: require("./src/translations/en.js"),
          fr: require("./src/translations/fr.json"),
        },
        // OPTIONAL
        // To remove the default locale from urls
        defaultLocale: "en"
        // prefix in translations files
        prefix: "urls.", // default: ""
      },
    },
  ],
}

4. Translate urls in your pages

Most of the time, you only need the TranslatedLink component. It will transform the url passed to to prop.

import React from "react"
import {TranslatedLink} from "gatsby-plugin-translate-urls"

export default () => {
  return <TranslatedLink to="/posts">Posts FR</TranslatedLink>
}

For most advanced cases or if you want to use the original gatsby link, you can use TranslateUrlsContext to get some useful data:

import React, {useContext} from "react"
import {Link} from "gatsby"
import {TranslateUrlsContext} from "gatsby-plugin-translate-urls"

export default () => {
  const {
    locale, // fr
    locales, // ["en", "fr"]
    originalUrl, // "/about"
    translateUrl // (url(, locale)) => translatedUrl
  } = useContext(TranslateUrlsContext)
  return (
    <>
      <Link to={translateUrl(originalUrl)}>About FR</Link>
      <Link to={translateUrl(originalUrl, "en")}>About EN</Link>
      {"All localized /about pages:"}
      {locales.map(lang => <Link key={lang}to={translateUrl(originalUrl, lang)}>About {lang}<)}
      /Link>
    </>
  )
}
