Localization of FireCMS

[fabarea]

For now the labels are hard-coded in English. It would be nice to make them translatable. I would be happy to contribute for French 😄

Hi @fabarea that would be great!
We currently don't have any localization framework in place. Do you have any suggestions?

I have made good experience with i18next and react-i18next. In the main index.ts you would find something like that:

// to be put quite "high" in the import list to have the i18 framework initialize early.
import './i18next-init'

In 18next-init.ts:

import i18next from 'i18next'
import common_en from './translations/en/common.json'
import common_es from './translations/es/common.json'

i18next.init({
  interpolation: { escapeValue: false }, // React already does escaping
  lng: 'fr', // language to use
  resources: {
    en: {
      translation: common_en
    }
    es: {
      translation: common_es
    },
    ...
  }
})

Then, it whatever file you can have something like that:

import i18next from 'i18next'

console.log(i18next.t('hello'))

Example for the productionCollution.ts

...
import i18next from 'i18next'

const productCollection = buildCollection({
  name: i18next.t('products'), // <------ 
  relativePath: 'products',
  schema: productSchema,
  textSearchDelegate: productsSearchDelegate,
  additionalColumns: [productAdditionalColumn],
  subcollections: [localeCollection],
  defaultSize: 'xs'
})

Hi @fgatti675, If this is low priority for you, I would like to give this a try. react-18next is also my favourite framework for this, so i would use that. I can Provide translation to Portuguese, and eventually, my company would appreciate having in german ;)
