Goodspeed

Connect i18next to your Goodspeed app

Locale detection and JSON translation files generated per locale. lib/i18n.ts wires i18next with expo-localization for automatic language switching. Goodspeed wires i18next into every app that needs it at generation time, so you start with a working integration, not a blank config and a documentation tab.

WHAT GETS WIRED IN

Built into every i18next build

Every app Goodspeed generates with i18next includes these wired integrations from the first build. No manual setup required.

REAL GENERATED CODE

A snippet from a i18next integration the pipeline ships

This pattern comes directly from the gas-template codebase. The studio generates i18next integration code like this for every app that includes it, not a placeholder you have to fill in yourself.

  1. Locale detection

    // lib/i18n.ts
function getDeviceLocale(): string {
  try {
    const locales = getLocales();
    const deviceLang = locales[0]?.languageCode
      ?? i18nConfig.defaultLocale;
    if (i18nConfig.locales.includes(deviceLang)) {
      return deviceLang;
    }
    return i18nConfig.defaultLocale;
  } catch {
    return i18nConfig.defaultLocale;
  }
}
