We're excited to announce the release of CometChat React UI Kit v6.0.0, focused entirely on enhancing localization capabilities to help you deliver seamless chat experiences to global audiences.
Expanded Language Support
The latest update introduces support for five additional languages:
01.
Italian
02.
Japanese
03.
Korean
04.
Turkish
05.
Dutch
This expansion enables your applications to reach more users in their native languages without requiring custom implementation, reducing the need for developers to build and maintain their own translation systems.
Global Date Localization
A standout feature of this release is the completely revamped date localization system. We've implemented consistent datetime formatting across all components through:
Global date localization support in CometChatLocalize
Component-specific datetime format props for precise control
Simplified API for managing date formats across the application
This ensures that date and time information appears properly formatted according to each user's locale, enhancing the natural feel of your chat interface. For developers, this means significantly less custom code to handle date formatting across different regions and a more consistent experience for your global user base.
Streamlined Component Props
We've simplified localization across components by:
01.
Replacing multiple date pattern props with consistent format props
02.
Implementing standard datetime formatting in Conversations, Message List, Thread Header, and Call Logs
03.
Creating a more cohesive approach to time display throughout the chat interface
These improvements create a more maintainable codebase by standardizing how localization is handled throughout your application, making future updates and customizations much easier to implement.
