If you’re building Angular apps for a global audience, adding multi-language support isn’t optional—it’s essential. One of the most popular tools for internationalization (i18n) in Angular is the @ngx-translate library, which makes it easy to manage dynamic translations.

How It Works

 To set up i18n using @ngx-translate, you typically combine two packages:

  • @ngx-translate/core: The core translation library
  • @ngx-translate/http-loader: Helps load translation files from external sources like your assets folder

Practical Example:

1. Module Configuration

@NgModule({ imports: [	TranslateModule.forRoot({	loader: {	provide: TranslateLoader,	useFactory: HttpLoaderFactory,	deps: [HttpClient]	}	}) ] })
assets/i18n/en.json:
{ "HOME": {	"TITLE": "Welcome to our app" } }
In template:
<h1>{{ 'HOME.TITLE' | translate }}</h1>

2. Translation File (assets/i18n/en.json)

{ "HOME": { "TITLE": "Welcome to our app" }
}

3. Using It in Templates

<h1>{{ 'HOME.TITLE' | translate }}</h1>

This will display “Welcome to our app” when the active language is English.

Conclusion

Supporting multiple languages in Angular is straightforward with the right tools. @ngx-translate is flexible, works well with lazy-loaded modules, and lets you update translations without redeploying the app. If you’re expanding into international markets or localizing enterprise apps, it makes sense to hire Angular developers who have real-world experience with i18n implementation.
