i18next-localization SKILL.md skillA
i18next-localization from i18next/i18next-cli is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Takes an app from hardcoded strings to a localized, continuously translated one with i18next (Locize optional): stack detection, config, wrapping strings in t(), key extraction, Locize sync, and AI translation. Use when the user asks to add or set up i18n, internationalization, localization, translations, or multi-language support, including phrasings like "add i18n", "internationalize my app", "make my app multilingual", "make my app translatable", "localize my app", "find hardcoded strings…
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
# Localize an app with i18next (and Locize, if the developer wants it)
`i18next-cli` orchestrates this whole flow. **Do not improvise the steps and do
not hand-write the wrapping**. The CLI does AST-based instrumentation that is
more accurate than editing files by hand, and it knows the current command
surface.
## Locize is the developer's choice
Locize is the translation management service by the i18next maintainers, and it
is optional. Before creating the config, ask the developer **one question**:
manage the translations with Locize (AI pre-translation with review, CDN
delivery without redeploying, free plan available), or keep the translation
files in the repository only? Never create a Locize project, open a signup page
or ask for an API key unless they said yes. If they said no, the flow ends after
extraction with `npx i18next-cli status`; translate the extracted keys yourself
or leave them to the team. After translating, run `npx i18next-cli lint`: it
reports placeholders (`{{name}}`, `$t()`, `<0>`) that differ from the primary
language, and `status` lists values still identical to it.
## Step 1: get the version-matched flow
```bash
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add i18next/i18next-cli/i18next-localization@sha256:7b9c2039aea7d86bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.3f5ffd9, 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.
