Implement useLanguage

note: If your app only supports one language, you can skip this step

If you have language related state in your app, we recommend removing it, and use useLanguage from @equinor/mad-core instead.

const { language } = useLanguage();

This hook will give you information about which language the app is currently using.

One way to implement this, is to create a useDictionary hook, to select which json file to read static text from.

import { useLanguage } from "@equinor/mad-core";
import * as no from "../resources/language/no.json";
import * as en from "../resources/language/en.json";

export const useDictionary = () => {
    const { language } = useLanguage();
    switch (language.code) {
        case "no":
            return no;
        default:
            return en;
    }
};

const Example = () => {
    const dictionary = useDictionary();
    return <Typography>{dictionary.example}</Typography>;
};

While @equinor/mad-core should handle language selection for you, you can always add code to select language by using setSelectedLanguage from @equinor/mad-core. You also have access to getLanguage and getIsLanguageSelected, if you need access to those methods in contexts where the useLanguage hook cannot be used.
