Remix With localization

[lethal peak]

Hello all, I have a question. I am trying to do an app with localization, on the url, and based on that I can fetch data from a backend with custom locale, now I've tried this approach however, I am not a big fan of having to nest everything under the $locale folder, following this example https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/remix-starter just wondering if this would be the best approach? I've also tried this and followed this, but couldn't figure out a way to get the locale from the URL https://github.com/sergiodxa/remix-i18next, any ideas or example that I can try out?

For now, yes. I cannot move my existing app to remix because of that.

However, you can localise based on either subdomain or query param. something like mydomain.com/user?lang=en

And defaults can be used from browser language.

ohh, that's a shame. I wanted to move my NextApp to Remix, but I really like the way they handle localization, is much straight forward

@lethal peak not anymore with app directory in nextjs yet 🙂

I believe remix will have a solution faster than next which is inspiring from remix.

I haven’t tried the new next js, but not sure it would change the way it works right now

Nvm just saw that in fact is the same way, you would have to nest everything inside [locale] folder 🤔

That is very lame way in my opinion but works.

Let’s see which one comes with a better solution, not a big fan of the nesting as of now. So I’m still using next12 for it, but wanted to go to remix

The reason I am choosing remix is exactly like that. With next 13, remix seems better choice now 😄
