Internationalization

TurboStarter AI builds on the core internationalization (i18n) setup from the main TurboStarter framework. The shared @workspace/i18n package in packages/i18n handles translation management across platforms.

This gives you the benefit of a proven system using i18next for managing translations on both web and mobile apps. Plus, the AI models and LLMs integrated within TurboStarter AI generally support multiple languages, enabling interactions beyond what's covered by UI translations alone.

By default, the AI kit ships with English (en) enabled. You can add more locales by extending the i18n config and providing matching translation files.

For detailed information on configuring languages, adding translations, or using the useTranslation hook, check out the core documentation:

AI-specific translations

While most translations are shared across the platform, TurboStarter AI introduces a dedicated ai namespace within translation files. This namespace contains strings specifically for AI features, demo applications, and UI elements unique to the AI starter kit.

The i18n package ships with multiple namespaces (for example common, ai, and validation) and loads translations from packages/i18n/src/translations.

{
  "chat": {
    "title": "AI Chatbot",
    "description": "Engage in intelligent conversations."
  },
  "image": {
    "title": "Image Generation",
    "description": "Create stunning visuals with AI."
  }
  // ... other AI-specific translations
}

When adding translations for new AI features or modifying existing ones, place them within the ai namespace in the appropriate language files (e.g., en/ai.json, es/ai.json). This keeps AI-related text organized and separate from core application translations.
