# 国际化的路由
Examples
i18n routing
Next.js自“v10.0.0”以来内置了国际化(i18n)路由支持。您可以提供一个区域设置列表、默认区域设置和特定于域的区域设置,Next.js将自动处理路由。
The i18n routing support is currently meant to complement existing i18n library solutions like react-intl
, react-i18next
, lingui
, rosetta
, next-intl
and others by streamlining the routes and locale parsing.
# Getting started
To get started, add the i18n
config to your next.config.js
file.
Locales are UTS Locale Identifiers
, a standardized format for defining locales.
Generally a Locale Identifier is made up of a language, region, and script separated by a dash: language-region-script
. The region and script are optional. An example:
en-US
- English as spoken in the United Statesnl-NL
- Dutch as spoken in the Netherlandsnl
- Dutch, no specific region
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
i18n: {
// These are all the locales you want to support in
// your application
locales: ['en-US', 'fr', 'nl-NL'],
// This is the default locale you want to be used when visiting
// a non-locale prefixed path e.g. `/hello`
defaultLocale: 'en-US',
// This is a list of locale domains and the default locale they
// should handle (these are only required when setting up domain routing)
// Note: subdomains must be included in the domain value to be matched e.g. "fr.example.com".
domains: [
{
domain: 'example.com',
defaultLocale: 'en-US',
},
{
domain: 'example.nl',
defaultLocale: 'nl-NL',
},
{
domain: 'example.fr',
defaultLocale: 'fr',
// an optional http field can also be used to test
// locale domains locally with http instead of https
http: true,
},
],
},
}
# Locale Strategies
There are two locale handling strategies: Sub-path Routing and Domain Routing.
# Sub-path Routing
Sub-path Routing puts the locale in the url path.
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
i18n: {
locales: ['en-US', 'fr', 'nl-NL'],
defaultLocale: 'en-US',
},
}
With the above configuration en-US
, fr
, and nl-NL
will be available to be routed to, and en-US
is the default locale. If you have a pages/blog.js
the following urls would be available:
/blog
/fr/blog
/nl-nl/blog
The default locale does not have a prefix.
# Domain Routing
By using domain routing you can configure locales to be served from different domains:
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
i18n: {
locales: ['en-US', 'fr', 'nl-NL', 'nl-BE'],
defaultLocale: 'en-US',
domains: [
{
// Note: subdomains must be included in the domain value to be matched
// e.g. www.example.com should be used if that is the expected hostname
domain: 'example.com',
defaultLocale: 'en-US',
},
{
domain: 'example.fr',
defaultLocale: 'fr',
},
{
domain: 'example.nl',
defaultLocale: 'nl-NL',
// specify other locales that should be redirected
// to this domain
locales: ['nl-BE'],
},
],
},
}
For example if you have pages/blog.js
the following urls will be available:
example.com/blog
www.example.com/blog
example.fr/blog
example.nl/blog
example.nl/nl-BE/blog
# Automatic Locale Detection
When a user visits the application root (generally /
), Next.js will try to automatically detect which locale the user prefers based on the Accept-Language
header and the current domain.
If a locale other than the default locale is detected, the user will be redirected to either:
- **When using Sub-path Routing:**The locale prefixed path
- **When using Domain Routing:**The domain with that locale specified as the default
When using Domain Routing, if a user with the Accept-Language
header fr;q=0.9
visits example.com
, they will be redirected to example.fr
since that domain handles the fr
locale by default.
When using Sub-path Routing, the user would be redirected to /fr
.
# Prefixing the Default Locale
With Next.js 12 and Middleware](/docs/middleware) , we can add a prefix to the default locale with a [workaround
.
For example, here's a next.config.js
file with support for a few languages. Note the "default"
locale has been added intentionally.
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
i18n: {
locales: ['default', 'en', 'de', 'fr'],
defaultLocale: 'default',
localeDetection: false,
},
trailingSlash: true,
}
Next, we can use Middleware
to add custom routing rules:
// pages/_middleware.ts
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'
const PUBLIC_FILE = /\.(.*)$/
export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
const shouldHandleLocale =
!PUBLIC_FILE.test(request.nextUrl.pathname) &&
!request.nextUrl.pathname.includes('/api/') &&
request.nextUrl.locale === 'default'
return shouldHandleLocale
? NextResponse.redirect(`/en${request.nextUrl.href}`)
: undefined
}
This Middleware
skips adding the default prefix to API Routes
and public
files like fonts or images. If a request is made to the default locale, we redirect to our prefix /en
.
# Disabling Automatic Locale Detection
The automatic locale detection can be disabled with:
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
i18n: {
localeDetection: false,
},
}
When localeDetection
is set to false
Next.js will no longer automatically redirect based on the user's preferred locale and will only provide locale information detected from either the locale based domain or locale path as described above.
# Accessing the locale information
You can access the locale information via the Next.js router. For example, using the useRouter()
hook the following properties are available:
locale
contains the currently active locale.locales
contains all configured locales.defaultLocale
contains the configured default locale.
When pre-rendering
pages with getStaticProps
or getServerSideProps
, the locale information is provided in the context
provided to the function.
When leveraging getStaticPaths
, the configured locales are provided in the context parameter of the function under locales
and the configured defaultLocale under defaultLocale
.
# Transition between locales
You can use next/link
or next/router
to transition between locales.
For next/link
, a locale
prop can be provided to transition to a different locale from the currently active one. If no locale
prop is provided, the currently active locale
is used during client-transitions. For example:
import Link from 'next/link'
export default function IndexPage(props) {
return (
<Link href="/another" locale="fr">
<a>To /fr/another</a>
</Link>
)
}
When using the next/router
methods directly, you can specify the locale
that should be used via the transition options. For example:
import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
export default function IndexPage(props) {
const router = useRouter()
return (
<div
onClick={() => {
router.push('/another', '/another', { locale: 'fr' })
}}
>
to /fr/another
</div>
)
}
Note that to handle switching only the locale
while preserving all routing information such as dynamic route
query values or hidden href query values, you can provide the href
parameter as an object:
import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
const router = useRouter()
const { pathname, asPath, query } = router
// change just the locale and maintain all other route information including href's query
router.push({ pathname, query }, asPath, { locale: nextLocale })
See here
for more information on the object structure for router.push
.
If you have a href
that already includes the locale you can opt-out of automatically handling the locale prefixing:
import Link from 'next/link'
export default function IndexPage(props) {
return (
<Link href="/fr/another" locale={false}>
<a>To /fr/another</a>
</Link>
)
}
# Leveraging the NEXT_LOCALE cookie
Next.js supports overriding the accept-language header with a NEXT_LOCALE=the-locale
cookie. This cookie can be set using a language switcher and then when a user comes back to the site it will leverage the locale specified in the cookie when redirecting from /
to the correct locale location.
For example, if a user prefers the locale fr
in their accept-language header but a NEXT_LOCALE=en
cookie is set the en
locale when visiting /
the user will be redirected to the en
locale location until the cookie is removed or expired.
# Search Engine Optimization
Since Next.js knows what language the user is visiting it will automatically add the lang
attribute to the <html>
tag.
Next.js doesn't know about variants of a page so it's up to you to add the hreflang
meta tags using next/head
. You can learn more about hreflang
in the Google Webmasters documentation
.
# How does this work with Static Generation?
Note that Internationalized Routing does not integrate with
next export
asnext export
does not leverage the Next.js routing layer. Hybrid Next.js applications that do not usenext export
are fully supported.
# Dynamic Routes and getStaticProps Pages
For pages using getStaticProps
with Dynamic Routes
, all locale variants of the page desired to be prerendered need to be returned from getStaticPaths
. Along with the params
object returned for paths
, you can also return a locale
field specifying which locale you want to render. For example:
// pages/blog/[slug].js
export const getStaticPaths = ({ locales }) => {
return {
paths: [
// if no `locale` is provided only the defaultLocale will be generated
{ params: { slug: 'post-1' }, locale: 'en-US' },
{ params: { slug: 'post-1' }, locale: 'fr' },
],
fallback: true,
}
}
For Automatically Statically Optimized
and non-dynamic getStaticProps
pages, a version of the page will be generated for each locale. This is important to consider because it can increase build times depending on how many locales are configured inside getStaticProps
.
For example, if you have 50 locales configured with 10 non-dynamic pages using getStaticProps
, this means getStaticProps
will be called 500 times. 50 versions of the 10 pages will be generated during each build.
To decrease the build time of dynamic pages with getStaticProps
, use a fallback mode
. This allows you to return only the most popular paths and locales from getStaticPaths
for prerendering during the build. Then, Next.js will build the remaining pages at runtime as they are requested.
# Automatically Statically Optimized Pages
For pages that are automatically statically optimized
, a version of the page will be generated for each locale.
# Non-dynamic getStaticProps Pages
For non-dynamic getStaticProps
pages, a version is generated for each locale like above. getStaticProps
is called with each locale
that is being rendered. If you would like to opt-out of a certain locale from being pre-rendered, you can return notFound: true
from getStaticProps
and this variant of the page will not be generated.
export async function getStaticProps({ locale }) {
// Call an external API endpoint to get posts.
// You can use any data fetching library
const res = await fetch(`https://.../posts?locale=${locale}`)
const posts = await res.json()
if (posts.length === 0) {
return {
notFound: true,
}
}
// By returning { props: posts }, the Blog component
// will receive `posts` as a prop at build time
return {
props: {
posts,
},
}
}
# Limits for the i18n config
locales
: 100 total localesdomains
: 100 total locale domain items
**Note:**These limits have been added initially to prevent potential
performance issues at build time
. You can workaround these limits with custom routing usingMiddleware
in Next.js 12.
