Integrating i18n and vue-router with Nuxt.js

When transitioning a Vue.js project to Nuxt.js, developers often encounter challenges, especially around integrating vue-router with i18n (internationalization). One prevalent issue is properly updating the i18n locale through the router and configuring the nuxt-i18n plugin correctly. In this guide, we will dive into the specific challenges faced during this process and explore effective solutions.

The Problems

1. Updating i18n Locale in Router

The first challenge is how to properly update the i18n.locale in the router.js file. This update is crucial as it determines which language the application will display based on the user's selection.

2. Configuring nuxt-i18n for Custom Router

The second issue involves telling nuxt-i18n that you're using your custom router. Without this information, the application throws errors regarding routes that do not exist, specifically with the message indicating unrecognized route names like 'XXX___en'.

The Solution

After struggling with the above issues, a working solution was found by shifting the localization logic from the router file to a component within the application. Here’s how the implementation works:

Moving Logic to NavBar.vue

Instead of attempting to handle language changes in the router.js, the functionality was incorporated into the NavBar.vue component. This approach allows direct access to this.$i18n, making it much easier to manage locale changes.

Here’s a step-by-step look at how to implement this solution:

Step 1: Set Up nuxt-i18n in nuxt.config.js

First, ensure that nuxt-i18n is properly configured in your nuxt.config.js file. Sample configuration is as follows:

Step 2: Accessing this.$i18n in NavBar.vue

Now, in your NavBar.vue component, you can add button elements or dropdown menus for language selection. Use methods to change the current locale:

Through this setup, you can effortlessly switch languages, and the updated locale will be reflected in your application.

Conclusion

By moving the locale updating logic to a component like NavBar.vue, you gain immediate access to this.$i18n, simplifying the process of switching languages and ensuring that your application remains fluent in multiple languages. This approach also helps avoid common pitfalls with nuxt-i18n integration and custom router configurations.
