Which Angular i18n library is best for my project?

When choosing an Angular i18n library, consider your specific requirements rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. For most SaaS applications like those that would use Localazy, here’s what to consider:

  • If you need runtime language switching (letting users change languages without refreshing), ngx-translate is a solid choice. It’s mature, widely adopted, and offers good flexibility for dynamic content. It integrates smoothly with Localazy’s workflow and is relatively easy for developers to implement.

  • For teams focused on performance and modern TypeScript integration, transloco offers advantages. It provides better typing support, more efficient rendering, and a developer-friendly API. Localazy works seamlessly with transloco’s JSON-based translation system.

  • If you prefer staying within Angular’s official ecosystem and don’t need runtime language switching, Angular’s built-in i18n is worth considering. It offers excellent performance through compile-time translation and integrates naturally with Angular’s build process. Localazy’s CLI tools can automate the extraction and integration of translations with this approach.

The best choice depends on whether you prioritize runtime flexibility, developer experience, or native integration with the Angular framework. All three options work well with Localazy’s translation management system, allowing your translators to work efficiently regardless of which library your developers implement.
