How to Implement
Internationalization (i18n)
in Angular
Application(Multiple
Language Support with
Example)

I am writing this blog to get you through
one of the easier ways to implement multi-
language support in Angular application,
and if you follow all the instructions that I
am going to discuss in this blog post, then I
am pretty sure that you will have your own
multi-language support Angular
application.

➤ So Internationalization or i18 is a feature
that is provided by the Angular team to
support multi-languages on a website.
➤ By using Internationalization, users can
change the language and can understand
more about the website content in a
supportive language.

(1) What is
Internationalization or
i18n in Angular
Application?

➤ Multiple language support is to offer
support for different languages on a website
or web page.
➤ By which users can change the language,
and some content will be changed based on
language preference.
(2) What is Multi-Language
Support Work in Angular
Application?

➤ Let’s do some practice with the new
Angular project, so before finishing this
blog, you will have a good multi-language
support application ready.
➤ So first of all, let’s create a new project.
➤ Here I am using Angular version 9.
(3) How to implement
Internationalization in
Angular Application?

➤ Create a new Angular project by the
below command.
ng new i18n – – routing
➤ Now go to the root folder and run this
project and check on localhost:4200 in a
browser
cd i18n
ng serve -o

So let’s start with creating components and
set routing with a nice bootstrap header for
redirection to the different pages.
Go to the terminal and create 3 components
ng g c profile
ng g c blog
ng g c certificate
It will create 3 components with HTML,
CSS, spec and ts files.
Now go to the app-routing.module.ts file
and set the routing as shown in the below
image.

Now create a good bootstrap header in
app.component.html and app.component.ts
file like, below image.

Note: – I have used bootstrap CDN for some
design purpose, so you need to add CDN in
index.html file or to use package.json as per
your choice, or you can use your own CSS
for the header.

And now, if you run this project, then its
output is something like the below image.

I hope your Angular project is running
without any error, so now we can start to
implement internalization in this project.
So in this project, we are going to add 3
languages support, which are English,
Hindi, and Gujarati, and for that, we need to
create 3 JSON files that refer to those
languages, and then we will use that file in
our project for language support.
So first, go to the assets folder which is
inside the src/assets and create 1 folder
named i18n and inside that create a 3
language JSON file with some key-value
pair as I show in the images below…

Now we need to install 2 dependencies by
using the below command.
npm install @ngx-translate/core @ngx-
translate/http-loader
So now we need to use TranslateModule,
TranslateLoader from @ngx-translate/core,
and TranslateHttpLoader from @ngx-
translate/HTTP-loader in app.module.ts for
configuration of the language-translation.
As I show in the below image, we need to
create a
function “createTranslateLoader” and need
to add in an import array as well for
configuration of the language JSON files,
which we created earlier.

As we are using HTTP so we will be required
to import HttpClientModule as well in the
app.module.ts file, as shown in the above
image.
Now we are almost ready to show the
different languages.
First, we need to set the default language in
a constructor of app.component.ts file as
shown in the below image.
-> this.translate.use(‘English’);

Now select the different languages we need
to set in a translation.
We need to create a method and set it to the
dropdown language select in
app.component.html and app.component.ts
file just like below image

Now the central part comes into the picture.
Where precisely, we want to show the
different languages we need to use a
translation pipe, just like in the image
below.

In the above image, you can see that we
replace Profile to {{‘header.profile’ |
translate}}, so basically header and profile is
a key in the language JSON file like.

So if we want to show “Welcome to the
profile page.” then we need to do something
like.
So now we are done with internalization or
i18n or Multi-language support in our
Angular project.
You can save all the changes and run this
project on the browser, and you will see the
changes.
