Managing i18n keys in React without losing your mind (without leaving your IDE)

Managing i18n keys in React without losing your mind (without leaving your IDE)

Short summary

The author introduces I18n Support Plus, a free JetBrains IDE plugin that treats i18n keys as first-class code symbols with resolution coloring, go-to-definition, autocomplete, inlay hints, and safe refactoring across all locales. It supports i18next, vue-i18n, and lingui across JS/TS/Vue/PHP with JSON, YAML, and PO formats. The plugin eliminates the daily friction of manually cross-referencing translation keys against JSON files by integrating navigation, validation, and bulk synchronization directly into the editor.

  • Plugin colors i18n keys by resolution state and provides Ctrl+Click navigation to translation values
  • Supports autocomplete, inlay hints, code folding, key extraction, orphan scanning, and cross-locale synchronization
  • Works with i18next, react-i18next, vue-i18n, and lingui in JetBrains IDEs; free and open-source on GitHub
