Sync JSON (i18n bridges)
Use Intlayer as an add‑on to your existing i18n stack. This plugin keeps your JSON messages in sync with Intlayer dictionaries so you can:
- Keep i18next, next‑intl, react‑intl, vue‑i18n, next‑translate, nuxt‑i18n, Solid‑i18next, svelte‑i18n, etc.
- Manage and translate your messages with Intlayer (CLI, CI, providers, CMS), without refactoring your app.
- Ship tutorials and SEO content targeting each ecosystem, while suggesting Intlayer as the JSON management layer.
Notes and current scope:
- Externalization to the CMS works for translations and classic text.
- No support yet for insertions, plurals/ICU, or advanced runtime features of other libraries.
- The visual editor is not supported yet for third‑party i18n outputs.
When to use this plugin
- You already use an i18n library and store messages in JSON files.
- You want AI‑assisted fill, test in CI, and content ops without changing your rendering runtime.
Installation
pnpm add -D @intlayer/sync-json-plugin# ornpm i -D @intlayer/sync-json-plugin
Quick start
Add the plugin to your intlayer.config.ts and point it at your existing JSON structure.
Copiar el código al portapapeles
import { defineConfig, Locales } from "intlayer";import { syncJSON } from "@intlayer/sync-json-plugin";export default defineConfig({ internationalization: { locales: [Locales.ENGLISH, Locales.FRENCH, Locales.SPANISH], defaultLocale: Locales.ENGLISH, }, // Keep your current JSON files in sync with Intlayer dictionaries plugins: [ syncJSON({ // Per-locale, per-namespace layout (e.g., next-intl, i18next with namespaces) source: ({ key, locale }) => `./locales/${locale}/${key}.json`, }), ],});
Alternative: single file per locale (common with i18next/react-intl setups):
Copiar el código al portapapeles
plugins: [ syncJSON({ source: ({ locale }) => `./locales/${locale}.json`, }),];
How it works
- Read: the plugin discovers JSON files from your source builder and loads them as Intlayer dictionaries.
- Write: after builds and fills, it writes localized JSON back to the same paths (with a final newline to avoid formatting issues).
- Auto‑fill: the plugin declares an autoFill path for each dictionary. Running intlayer fill updates only missing translations in your JSON files by default.
API:
syncJSON({ source: ({ key, locale }) => string, // required location?: string, // optional label, default: "plugin"});
Integrations
Below are common mappings. Keep your runtime untouched; only add the plugin.
i18next
Typical file layout: ./public/locales/{locale}/{namespace}.json or ./locales/{locale}/{namespace}.json.
Copiar el código al portapapeles
import { syncJSON } from "@intlayer/sync-json-plugin";export default { plugins: [ syncJSON({ source: ({ key, locale }) => `./locales/${locale}/${key}.json`, }), ],};
next-intl
Per‑locale JSON messages (often ./messages/{locale}.json) or per‑namespace.
Copiar el código al portapapeles
plugins: [ syncJSON({ source: ({ locale, key }) => `./messages/${locale}/${key}.json`, }),];
See also: docs/en/intlayer_with_next-intl.md.
react-intl
Single JSON per locale is common:
Copiar el código al portapapeles
plugins: [ syncJSON({ source: ({ locale }) => `./locales/${locale}.json`, }),];
vue-i18n
Either a single file per locale or per‑namespace:
Copiar el código al portapapeles
plugins: [ syncJSON({ source: ({ key, locale }) => `./src/locales/${locale}/${key}.json`, }),];
Others
- next-translate / nuxt-i18n: map to their folder conventions (per‑locale/per‑namespace JSON).
- LinguiJS / Polyglot.js / Solid‑i18next / svelte‑i18n: point the builder to wherever those tools read JSON from. This plugin synchronizes JSON; advanced formats (PO/ICU/catalog binaries) are out of scope for now.
CLI and CI features
Test for missing translations in CI:
npx intlayer content test --build
Auto‑fill only what is missing (default behavior skips existing translations):
npx intlayer fill
Translate with your own provider/model/API key:
# OpenAI exampleOPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... npx intlayer fill --provider openai --model gpt-4o-mini# Anthropic exampleANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-... npx intlayer fill --provider anthropic --model claude-3-5-sonnet# Mistral / DeepSeek examplesMISTRAL_API_KEY=sk-... npx intlayer fill --provider mistral --model mistral-smallDEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-... npx intlayer fill --provider deepseek --model deepseek-chat
Only translate what changed (use Git diff filters):
npx intlayer fill --git-diff --git-diff-base origin/main --git-diff-current HEAD
More options: providers, temperature, locale filters, file/path filters. See docs/en/intlayer_cli.md.
Limitations (current)
- No insertions or plurals/ICU support when targeting third‑party libraries.
- Visual editor is not available for non‑Intlayer runtimes yet.
- JSON synchronization only; non‑JSON catalog formats are not supported.
Why this matters
- We can recommend established i18n solutions and position Intlayer as an add‑on.
- We leverage their SEO/keywords with tutorials that end by suggesting Intlayer to manage JSON.
- Expands the addressable audience from “new projects” to “any team already using i18n”.
