Translations Guide	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.

Translations

Homepage uses the 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>
  );
}
```

Set up translation strings

Homepage uses translated and localized strings for all text and numerical content in widgets. English is the default language, and other languages can be added via Crowdin. To add the English translations for your widget, follow these steps:

Open the public/locales/en/common.js file.

Add a new object for your widget to the bottom of the list, like this:

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

!!! note

Even if you natively speak another language, you should only add English translations. You can then add translations in your native language via [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/gethomepage), once your widget is merged.
