Hi @regn. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To set the default site locale and numbering format in Refine with Ant Design, you can use the i18nProvider and the NumberField component. Here's how you can achieve this: 1. Set up the i18nProvider: First, you need to set up the i18nProvider in your Refine app. This will handle the overall localization of your application, including the default locale. Here's an example of how to set it up:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const { t, i18n } = useTranslation();

  const i18nProvider = {
    translate: (key: string, options?: any) => t(key, options),
    changeLocale: (lang: string) => i18n.changeLanguage(lang),
    getLocale: () => i18n.language,
  };

  return (
    <Refine
      i18nProvider={i18nProvider}
      /* ... other props ... */
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </Refine>
  );
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const { t, i18n } = useTranslation();

  const i18nProvider = {
    translate: (key: string, options?: any) => t(key, options),
    changeLocale: (lang: string) => i18n.changeLanguage(lang),
    getLocale: () => i18n.language,
  };

  return (
    <Refine
      i18nProvider={i18nProvider}
      /* ... other props ... */
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </Refine>
  );
};

Source (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/i18n/#changing-the-locale) 2. Use NumberField for formatting numbers: For formatting numbers according to the locale, you can use the NumberField component from @refinedev/antd. This component uses Intl.NumberFormat() to format numbers based on the browser's locale. You can also specify a locale and options to customize the formatting:

import { NumberField } from "@refinedev/antd";

<NumberField
  value={value}
  options={{
    notation: "compact",
    // Add other options as needed
  }}
  locale="de-DE" // Specify the locale if different from the browser's default
/>

import { NumberField } from "@refinedev/antd";

<NumberField
  value={value}
  options={{
    notation: "compact",
    // Add other options as needed
  }}
  locale="de-DE" // Specify the locale if different from the browser's default
/>

Source (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/fields/number-field/) The NumberField component accepts the following props: - value: The number to be formatted (required) - locale: Override the browser locale (optional) - options: Number formatting options (optional) Source (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/fields/number-field/#api-reference) By combining these approaches, you can set the default site locale and control the numbering format in your Refine application with Ant Design. The i18nProvider will handle the overall localization, while the NumberField component will take care of number formatting based on the specified locale and options. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

how to force the site default locale? ignoring the browser settings @kapa.ai

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To force the site default locale in a Refine application, ignoring the browser settings, you can modify the i18nProvider setup. Here's how you can achieve this: 1. First, when initializing your i18n instance, you can set a specific language as the default:

import i18n from "i18next";
import { initReactI18next } from "react-i18next";

i18n.use(initReactI18next).init({
  lng: "en", // Set your desired default language here
  // ... other configuration options
});

import i18n from "i18next";
import { initReactI18next } from "react-i18next";

i18n.use(initReactI18next).init({
  lng: "en", // Set your desired default language here
  // ... other configuration options
});

Source (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/i18n/#i18n-provider) 2. Then, in your App.tsx file, you can set up the i18nProvider to use this forced locale:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const { t, i18n } = useTranslation();

  const i18nProvider = {
    translate: (key: string, params: object) => t(key, params),
    changeLocale: (lang: string) => i18n.changeLanguage(lang),
    getLocale: () => "en", // Force the locale to always return "en" (or your desired default)
  };

  return (
    <Refine
      i18nProvider={i18nProvider}
      // ... other props
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </Refine>
  );
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const { t, i18n } = useTranslation();

  const i18nProvider = {
    translate: (key: string, params: object) => t(key, params),
    changeLocale: (lang: string) => i18n.changeLanguage(lang),
    getLocale: () => "en", // Force the locale to always return "en" (or your desired default)
  };

  return (
    <Refine
      i18nProvider={i18nProvider}
      // ... other props
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </Refine>
  );
};

Source (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/i18n/#i18n-provider) By setting the getLocale function to always return your desired default locale (in this example, "en" for English), you're effectively forcing the site to use this locale regardless of the browser settings. Remember to adjust the locale code ("en" in this example) to match the locale you want to use as your site's default. This approach will ensure that your Refine application uses the specified default locale, ignoring the browser's language settings. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
