Translate model name and fields

There are two ways to translate these default keys, provide a function named getMessages inside the options or provide translations props to NextAdmin component.

Using getMessages allows you to provide an object with a multiple level structure to translate the keys, while the translations props only allow you to provide a flat object (form.widgets.file_upload.delete ex.)

You can also pass your own set of translations. For example you can set a custom action name as a translation key, which will then be translated by the lib.

actions: [
  {
    title: "actions.user.email",
    action: async (...args) => {
      "use server";
      const { submitEmail } = await import("./actions/nextadmin");
      await submitEmail(...args);
    },
    successMessage: "actions.user.email.success",
    errorMessage: "actions.user.email.error",
  },
],

Here, the actions.user.email key will be translated by the lib, and the value will be used as the action title, as well as the success and error messages after the action's execution.

Currently, you can only translate the following:

action title, success and error message
field validation error message

Check out the example app for more details on its usage.

Translate model name and fields

By using the model key in the translations object, you can translate the model name and fields.

{
  "model": {
    "User": { // Keep the case sensitive name of the model
      "name": "User",
      "plural": "Users",
      "fields": {
        "email": "Email",
        "password": "Password"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you only use one language for your admin, you should prefer to use the alias system (more details) to customize field names.
