React Multilingual Content Package

A light package that provides a component to translate a website's content present in english/native language into other languages.

V 2.0 Update: There is a change in the way select styles are handled now. (Fixes the older issue of styles being lost on re-render) Refer new examples here

How to use?

Import

This component needs to be on the client side if you're using Next.js

  import GoogleTranslator from "react-multilingual-content";

Use the component

  <GoogleTranslator className="max-w-[150px]" />

How to style?

1. className

You can style the unstyled GoogleTranslator Component, just like any other element in your application, by passing in className={classnames here} Example:

  <GoogleTranslator className="max-w-[150px]" />

The styles specified by the classes passed with the prop className are applied to the wrapper div.

2. selectStyles

You can style the select present inside the wrapper div by passing in styles as string to the selectStyles prop

Example 1:

// pass in selectStyles to apply styles on the select element (follow vanilla css syntax)
 <GoogleTranslator
      className="max-w-[200px]"
      selectStyles="background-color: gray"
  />

Example 2:

// pass multiple selectStyles as a string to apply styles on the select element (follow vanilla css syntax)
 <GoogleTranslator
      className="max-w-[200px]"
      selectStyles="background-color: gray; color: yellow; border: 2px solid black;"
  />

Others

You can always add wrapper divs or pass this component as props to other functions, make sure to keep in mind the Component has a wrapper div, so to prevent hydration issues, don't use this component inside <p></p> or <span></span> and other hydration prevention rules apply.
