Frontend: Use libraries like react-intl or i18next to manage translations.

Example:

javascript
import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';
const { t } = useTranslation();
<h1>{t('welcome_message')}</h1>;

Backend:

  1. Store translations in a database or JSON files.
  2. Serve the correct language file based on user preferences or Accept-Language headers.

Additional Considerations:

  • Support language-specific routes (e.g., /en/home, /fr/home)
  • Translate content dynamically from the database or CMS
  • Provide fallback languages if a translation is unavailable
  • Test language switches and correct text alignment for RTL languages like Arabic
