Migrating an i18next project

Migrating an existing backend from i18next is just changing a few lines of code.

Browser & Node.js & Deno

Just use the i18next-locize-backend

import i18next from 'i18next';
import Backend from 'i18next-locize-backend';

i18next
  .use(Backend)
  .init({
    // ...other options

    backend: {
      projectId: '[PROJECT_ID]',
      apiKey: '[API_KEY]',
      referenceLng: '[LNG]'
    }
  });

(You can find your projectId and API Key in your projects settings under the API Tab.)

Find more details and configuration options on the github page.

Here you will find an example on how you could migrate to locize when already using i18next.

And here a complete tutorial on how to best internationalize with i18next and locize.
