Configuration

Somewhere in your app, preferably at the root level, configure Amplify I18n.

Load all locales

If you don't specify any locales to the configure method, all the available locales will be loaded.

import { I18n } from "aws-amplify"
import AmplifyI18n from "amplify-i18n"

AmplifyI18n.configure()
I18n.setLanguage("fr")

Load specific locales

If you want to load only a subset of the available locales, pass an array to the configure method.

import { I18n } from "aws-amplify"
import AmplifyI18n from "amplify-i18n"

const locales = ["en", "fr", "de"]
AmplifyI18n.configure(locales)
I18n.setLanguage("fr")
