## What it is
react-i18next is a powerful internationalization library for React and React Native built on the i18next ecosystem. It provides hooks, higher-order components, and render props for translating UI content, with support for plurals, formatting, interpolation, and SSR.

## Use cases
- translate a react app into multiple languages
- add internationalization to react native app
- switch languages dynamically in a react app
- handle plurals and interpolation in translations
- server-side rendered i18n with react
- extract and manage translation keys in react components

## When to choose
- you're building a React or React Native app that needs mature, battle-tested i18n
- you want hooks-based translation with SSR support
- you want access to the broader i18next plugin ecosystem (backends, detection, caching)

## When to avoid
- your project doesn't use React
- you need a full translation management workflow out of the box without external tooling
- you want a zero-dependency minimal i18n solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: internationalization, frontend-framework, ssr
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: react, react-native, i18next, translation, hooks, typescript-support, localization, nodejs, mobile
