Translations

This extension uses i18next to display localized text for translation keys in code.

Setup

Several translation backends are supported and can be used in conjunction by updating the order in Backend > List setting.

A backend must be selected, otherwise no translations will be loaded.

Additionally, the I18n Options settings are required unless the default suffices. I18n Options > Namespaces are the possible namespaces, and I18n Options > Supported Lngs are all the possible languages. Without these, the extension will not function properly.

Contentful

To enable Contentful backend, add contentful to the Backend > List setting. Then fill in all the required settings in Backend > Contentful Options seen below.

File System

To enable File System backend, add fileSystem to the Backend > List setting. Add the load path according to the Backend > File System Options setting below
