Hi @jash.s. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- The provided extracts do not contain specific information on how to translate the sider in Refine. However, Refine provides internationalization support using the react-intl library. You can use the FormattedMessage component or the useIntl hook from react-intl to translate your text based on the selected language. Here's a basic example of how you might use FormattedMessage:

import { FormattedMessage } from 'react-intl';

<FormattedMessage id="menu.home" defaultMessage="Home" />

import { FormattedMessage } from 'react-intl';

<FormattedMessage id="menu.home" defaultMessage="Home" />

In this example, "menu.home" is the translation key and "Home" is the default message that will be displayed if no translation is found for the key. To translate your sider, you would need to wrap your text in FormattedMessage components with the appropriate translation keys. For more detailed information on how to use internationalization in Refine, you can refer to the official documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-references/hooks/use-translation). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

i already have a ii8provoder , how to use that for sider @kapa.ai

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Refine expects the i18nProvider type as follows:

import { I18nProvider } from "@refinedev/core";  
  
const i18nProvider: I18nProvider = {  
 translate: (key: string, options?: any, defaultMessage?: string) => string,  
 changeLocale: (lang: string, options?: any) => Promise,  
 getLocale: () => string,  
};

import { I18nProvider } from "@refinedev/core";  
  
const i18nProvider: I18nProvider = {  
 translate: (key: string, options?: any, defaultMessage?: string) => string,  
 changeLocale: (lang: string, options?: any) => Promise,  
 getLocale: () => string,  
};

The translate function is used to translate text. It takes a translation key as its first argument, and returns the translated string. If you already have an i18nProvider, you can use the translate function to translate text in your custom sider. Here's an example of how you might use it:

import { useTranslation } from "@refinedev/core";

const CustomSider: React.FC<RefineThemedLayoutV2SiderProps> = () => {
  const { translate } = useTranslation();
  // ...

  return (
    <ThemedSiderV2
      Title={({ collapsed }) => (
        <div>
          {collapsed ? (
            <img width="60px" src={Images.veriLogo} />
          ) : (
            <div>
              <img width="100px" src={Images.horiLogo} />
              <p>{translate("my.translation.key")}</p>
            </div>
          )}
        </div>
      )}
      // ...
    />
  );
};

import { useTranslation } from "@refinedev/core";

const CustomSider: React.FC<RefineThemedLayoutV2SiderProps> = () => {
  const { translate } = useTranslation();
  // ...

  return (
    <ThemedSiderV2
      Title={({ collapsed }) => (
        <div>
          {collapsed ? (
            <img width="60px" src={Images.veriLogo} />
          ) : (
            <div>
              <img width="100px" src={Images.horiLogo} />
              <p>{translate("my.translation.key")}</p>
            </div>
          )}
        </div>
      )}
      // ...
    />
  );
};

In this example, "my.translation.key" is the translation key for the text you want to translate. You would replace this with your actual translation keys. For more information, refer to the i18nProvider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/i18n#i18n-provider). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai all of the menu is in items , have to do that , will i have to make a custom sider and write all the code or is there a way to handle it

kapa.ai•6mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- If you want to translate the menu items in the sider, you don't necessarily need to create a custom sider. You can handle the translations when you define your resources in the Refine component. Here's an example:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { useTranslation } from "@refinedev/core";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const { translate } = useTranslation();

  return (
    <Refine
      resources={[
        {
          name: "posts",
          list: "/posts",
          options: {
            label: translate("resources.posts"),
          },
        },
        {
          name: "categories",
          list: "/categories",
          options: {
            label: translate("resources.categories"),
          },
        },
      ]}
      // ...
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </Refine>
  );
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { useTranslation } from "@refinedev/core";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const { translate } = useTranslation();

  return (
    <Refine
      resources={[
        {
          name: "posts",
          list: "/posts",
          options: {
            label: translate("resources.posts"),
          },
        },
        {
          name: "categories",
          list: "/categories",
          options: {
            label: translate("resources.categories"),
          },
        },
      ]}
      // ...
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </Refine>
  );
};

In this example, the translate function is used to translate the labels of the resources. The translation keys ("resources.posts" and "resources.categories") should be replaced with your actual translation keys. For more information, refer to the i18nProvider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/i18n#i18n-provider). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
