Welcome to the Next.js and Lingui static site generation (SSG) template project! This repository demonstrates the state-of-the-art integration of Next.js and Lingui for creating static web apps with multi-lingual support.
Next.js, a powerful React framework, is designed to build server-rendered React applications and SSG sites. In this context, we're utilizing Next.js's Static Site Generation capabilities to pre-render pages at build time.
Combined with Lingui, an i18n (internationalization) library for JavaScript, we've endeavored to produce a multilingual static website that effectively caters to a global audience.
Our aim with this template project is to illustrate the procedure of building an international static web app that is performant, SEO-advantaged, and maintains simplified translation management, courtesy of the capabilities brought about by the coupling of Next.js's SSG and Lingui.
- Static Site Generation with Next.js: Experience the unique advantages of utilizing Next.js in our static web application. This includes benefits such as improved performance and SEO, client-side routing, and a more streamlined development process.
- Translation Management with Lingui: Discover how Lingui simplifies handling translations in our static web app, from message extraction to language pluralization and localized formatting.
- Real-time Language Switching: Experience an interactive feature of our static web app that enables dynamic language switching. This allows users to effortlessly switch between different languages without navigating away from their current page.
