Localizing a small React app is easy, but as the size grows, things might get problematic.

I talk about my experience and share some common problems and solutions you could benefit from.

Luckily there are many tools helping you out and one I'd recommend is Tolgee: tolgee.io
It's also Open Source so bonus points for that ⭐️
Here's the repo: github.com/tolgee/tolgee-platform
