@fluenti/next

Compile-time i18n for Next.js. App Router native. RSC + streaming + server actions out of the box.

// Server Component — zero client JS
import { t } from '@fluenti/react'

export default async function Page() {
  return <h1>{t`Welcome, ${user.name}!`}</h1>
}

// Client Component — same syntax
'use client'
import { t } from '@fluenti/react'

export default function Counter() {
  return <p>{t`You have ${count} items in your cart.`}</p>
}

No runtime parsing. No bundle bloat. Messages are compiled at build time and tree-shaken per locale.

Features

App Router native — first-class RSC, streaming SSR, and server actions support
Next.js 14 & 15 compatible (next >= 14.0.0)
t\`` tagged templates — write messages inline, extract them with the CLI
Binding-aware transforms — the webpack loader rewrites tagged templates only for proven Fluenti bindings
I18nProvider — async server component that sets up both server and client i18n in one place
withLocale() — per-component locale isolation in RSC
ICU MessageFormat — plurals, selects, nested arguments, custom formatters
Code splitting — messages split per locale, loaded on demand
Cookie-based locale detection — reads locale cookie in server components by default

Quick Start

1. Install

pnpm add @fluenti/next @fluenti/core @fluenti/react
pnpm add -D @fluenti/cli

2. Configure `next.config.ts`

import type { NextConfig } from 'next'
import { withFluenti } from '@fluenti/next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
}

export default withFluenti()(nextConfig)

withFluenti() adds a webpack loader that rewrites direct-import authoring APIs in supported client/server scopes and generates a server module for RSC i18n. It reads your fluenti.config.ts automatically.

You can pass overrides directly:

export default withFluenti({
  locales: ['en', 'ja', 'zh-CN'],
  defaultLocale: 'en',
})(nextConfig)

3. Set up `I18nProvider` in your root layout

// app/layout.tsx
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { I18nProvider } from '@fluenti/next'

export default async function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const cookieStore = await cookies()
  const locale = cookieStore.get('locale')?.value ?? 'en'

  return (
    <html lang={locale}>
      <body>
        <I18nProvider locale={locale}>
          {children}
        </I18nProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

I18nProvider is an async server component. It initializes the server-side i18n instance (via React.cache) and wraps children in a client-side I18nProvider for hydration.

4. Use `t\``` in your pages

Server Component (default in app/):

// app/rsc/page.tsx
import { t } from '@fluenti/react'

export default async function RSCPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{t`Server rendered`}</h1>
      <p>{t`This page is a React Server Component.`}</p>
    </div>
  )
}

Client Component:

// app/page.tsx
'use client'
import { t, useI18n } from '@fluenti/react'

export default function Home() {
  const { setLocale, preloadLocale } = useI18n()
  const name = 'World'
  return <h1>{t`Hello, ${name}!`}</h1>
}

import { t } is the primary compile-time API. It supports tagged templates and descriptor calls, but not t('message.id') lookup. In Next apps using withFluenti(), ordinary authoring imports come from @fluenti/react on both the client and the server. For runtime lookup or full imperative access, use await getI18n() on the server or useI18n() on the client.

5. Extract and compile messages

# Extract messages from source files
pnpm fluenti extract

# Translate your PO files, then compile
pnpm fluenti compile

Next.js-Specific Features

React Server Components

Server components use t\`with zero client-side JavaScript. The loader detects server context automatically (files inapp/without'use client'`).

For direct access to the i18n instance in RSC:

import { setLocale, getI18n } from '@fluenti/next'

export default async function Page({ searchParams }) {
  const params = await searchParams
  if (params.lang) setLocale(params.lang)

  const { t, locale } = await getI18n()
  return <p>{t`Current server locale: ${locale}`}</p>
}

Streaming SSR

Works with Suspense boundaries — streamed content is translated on the server:

import { Suspense } from 'react'

async function SlowContent() {
  const { getI18n } = await import('@fluenti/next')
  const { t } = await getI18n()
  await fetchData()
  return <p>{t`Streamed content loaded!`}</p>
}

export default async function StreamingPage() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading...</p>}>
      <SlowContent />
    </Suspense>
  )
}

Server Actions

Direct-import t works in 'use server' functions:

'use server'

import { t } from '@fluenti/react'

export async function greetAction(): Promise<string> {
  return t`Hello from server action`
}

Metadata i18n

Translate Next.js metadata using the server i18n instance:

import { getI18n } from '@fluenti/next'

export async function generateMetadata() {
  const i18n = await getI18n()
  return {
    title: i18n.t('My App — Internationalized'),
    description: i18n.t('A fully localized Next.js application'),
  }
}

Middleware Locale Detection

Detect locale from headers, cookies, or URL and set it via cookie:

// middleware.ts
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server'

const SUPPORTED_LOCALES = ['en', 'ja', 'zh-CN']
const DEFAULT_LOCALE = 'en'

export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
  const response = NextResponse.next()

  // Already has a locale cookie
  if (request.cookies.get('locale')?.value) {
    return response
  }

  // Detect from Accept-Language header
  const acceptLang = request.headers.get('accept-language') ?? ''
  const detected = acceptLang
    .split(',')
    .map((s) => s.split(';')[0]!.trim())
    .find((lang) => SUPPORTED_LOCALES.includes(lang))

  response.cookies.set('locale', detected ?? DEFAULT_LOCALE)
  return response
}

Per-Component Locale Isolation

Render a subtree in a different locale using withLocale():

import { withLocale } from '@fluenti/next/server'

export default async function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{t`Main content`}</h1>
      {await withLocale('ja', async () => (
        <JapaneseWidget />
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}
