Rust internationalization, localization, and translation
Blog post from LogRocket
Rust has emerged as a popular programming language, particularly favored for its ability to facilitate internationalization (i18n), which is crucial for companies aiming to expand their software and applications to a global audience. Internationalization involves creating adaptable content suitable for diverse regions, languages, and cultures, with Rust offering several tools to streamline this process. In this context, the article examines eight prominent Rust internationalization crates, assessing their production-readiness and stability, including Fluent, Fluent LangNeg, gettext, gettext-rs, r_i18n, JSON Get Text, i18n_codegen, and Rocket I18N. These tools vary in their support for different frameworks and platforms, with some being more mature and stable than others. The choice of the best tool depends on specific use cases and desired outcomes for app development. Additionally, the article highlights LogRocket, a tool for monitoring Rust applications to enhance user experience by providing full visibility into web frontends and identifying performance issues.
