Historically, the design system has concerned itself with the layout and styling of content, not the content itself. Developers were expected to provide the content as props.
This makes sense for highly dynamic and contextual content such as headings, body copy, navigation links and so on. However, there are a handful of labels that don’t change regardless of the context, such as the close button label in a modal or the input labels in the date input.
Approach and changes
The translations are stored as JSON files in the relevant component folder, split by locale. They're imported using Vite's glob import feature.
A new useI18n hook receives the component props and translations. If a custom translation isn't provided via the props, it returns default translations for the first supported locale, falling back to en-US if no supported locale was found.
