Localization
This guide covers the comprehensive internationalization and localization strategy for the Raaghu Component Library, enabling global reach with support for multiple languages, cultures, and regions.
i18n Philosophy
Our internationalization approach is built on these core principles:
- Universal Design: Build components that work seamlessly across all cultures and languages
- Performance First: Lazy loading of translations and efficient bundle management
- Developer Experience: Simple APIs that make i18n integration effortless
- Cultural Sensitivity: Support for diverse cultural conventions and preferences
- Accessibility: Ensure i18n doesn't compromise accessibility features
