description: Tips and tricks for translating and localizing Homepage widgets.
---

All text and numerical content in widgets should be translated and localized. English is the default language, and other languages can be added via [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/gethomepage).

The Homepage community prides itself on being multilingual, and we strongly encourage you to add translations for your widgets.

## Translations

Homepage uses the [next-i18next](https://github.com/i18next/next-i18next) library to handle translations. This library provides a set of hooks and utilities to help you localize your widgets, and Homepage has extended this library to support additional features.

=== "component.jsx"

    ```js
    import { useTranslation } from "next-i18next";

    import Container from "components/services/widget/container";
    import Block from "components/services/widget/block";

    export default function Component() {
      const { t } = useTranslation();

      return (
        <Container service={service}>
          <Block label="yourwidget.key1" />
          <Block label="yourwidget.key2" />
          <Block label="yourwidget.key3" />
        </Container>
      );
    }
    ```

=== "en.json"

    ```json
    "yourwidget": {
      "key1": "Value 1",
      "key2": "Value 2",
      "key3": "Value 3"
    }
    ```

## Common Translations

Homepage provides a set of common translations that you can use in your widgets. These translations are used to format numerical content, dates, and other common elements.
