Add a new language to a Next.js application using next-intl internationalization.

Requires translating all entries from en.json in the ./messages directory to the new language

Update routing configuration in src/i18n/routing.ts and middleware in src/middleware.ts to recognize the new language

Register the language in the language toggle component at src/components/language-toggle.tsx

This is a guide to add a new language to a Next.js project using next-intl for internationalization,

For i18n, the application uses next-intl.

All translations are in the directory ./messages.

The UI component is src/components/language-toggle.tsx.

Routing and middleware configuration are handled in:

src/i18n/routing.ts

src/middleware.ts

When adding a new language:

Translate all the content of en.json to the new language. The goal is to have all the JSON entries in the new language for a complete translation.

Add the path in routing.ts and middleware.ts.

Add the language to language-toggle.tsx.
