Implements internationalization (i18n) in React applications. Covers user-facing strings, date/time handling, locale-aware formatting, ICU MessageFormat, and RTL support. Use when building multilingual UIs or formatting dates/currency.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# i18n and Localization Patterns

## Overview

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for implementing internationalization in React applications. It ensures ALL user-facing strings, date displays, currency, lists, and time calculations are locale-aware.

**When to use this skill:**
- Adding ANY user-facing text to components
- Formatting dates, times, currency, lists, or ordinals
- Implementing complex pluralization
- Embedding React components in translated text
- Supporting RTL languages (Hebrew, Arabic)

**Bundled Resources** (load with `Read("<path>")`):
- `references/formatting-utilities.md` - useFormatting hook API reference
- `references/ork-delta.md` - House decisions and working config that upstream docs do not carry
- `checklists/i18n-checklist.md` - Implementation and review checklist
- `examples/component-i18n-example.md` - Complete component example

**Canonical Reference:** See `docs/i18n-standards.md` for the full i18n standards document.

## Core Patterns

### 1. useTranslation Hook (All UI Strings)

Every visible string MUST use the translation function:

```tsx
import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';

function MyComponent() {
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/i18n-date-patterns@sha256:e59200d4abcc4e82

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
