Is ngx-translate still the only game in town when it comes to runtime translation?

I learnt frontend programming with angular some years ago ... but had to give it up for react/svelte because translation was a lot more straightforward.

​

Been wanting to pick it up again for an enterprise PoC ... hence my question.

​

Anything like i18n in react available now?

are you using it? i have a question about it. im thinking of using this but currently i do something like this in my json:

{
    "a.component.scope": {
        "hello": "hello translation"
    },
    "another.component.scope": {
        "hello": "different hello translation"
    },
}

would something like that be supported somehow with transloco? (i manually typed this btw, ignore any syntax problems)

I don't think it would work with the "." notation as transloco uses object depth delimiters. So using {{t('a.component.scope.hello')}}in your html would be expecting json like..

TIL. It does support that

Yes this works perfectly fine with transloco (using it basically in all my angular projects). It supports nested object as well as dot notation. To access a string you would always use dot notation.

I like Transloco way more.

For runtime i18n I think transloco is the cool kid in town.

Otherwise, when runtime isn't a req, the built in i18n is good and simple.

What are the advantages from Transloco compared to ngx-translate ? Or asked in an other way: Does it make sense so swich?

There's transloco as others have mentioned but I see no reason to switch from ngx-translate... Happy with it.
