A pattern for i18n

[osdiab]

Requesting that in some future version of Solid Start, there is a clear path to achieve i18n, ideally in a type-safe way (typed keys). If anything exists in that direction, resources would be appreciated - thanks for the great project!

Want to add some references

Typesafe i18n - A fully type-safe and lightweight internationalization library for all your TypeScript and JavaScript projects.
Already provides an adapter-solid

SvelteKit PR for translatable/alternate route paths

Also - if you want to keep the "json" way to do it - we have tools to help stricten the types
I think i18next can support solid-js and it provides some type-safety out of the box.
@solid-primitives/i18n can be used with eslint plugins to verify existence - like https://github.com/nirtamir2/eslint-plugin-i18n-prefix and https://github.com/natura-cosmeticos/eslint-plugin-i18n-checker

I would really like to see a solution with ssr support. That's all we need 🙂

Typesafe-i18n already supports SSR.

[BierDav]

Ahh really. I've already tried the provided example there, but this really doesn't support ssr. Do you have an example project how to implement, becuase I didn't get it to work.

If I understand correctly, what's missing is a way for the i18n to be initialized from the request instead of client access.

[BierDav]

Yeah I guess, so my goal is to have ssr for all first page loads and then transform into a spa with only client side rendering. This also opens me the possibility to ssg all pages that don't require user authentication.
