🇺🇸 Internationalization

Pre-defined

Due to the limited translation possibilities, we only provide a few pre-defined translations into the following languages:

• en - English 🇺🇸
• pl - Polish 🇵🇱

First import lang and use it as translation prop.

import { pl } from 'rn-emoji-keyboard';

// ...

translation={pl}

🏁 Own

There is possibility to pass own translation to library with the prop called translation like this

translation={{
  smileys_emotion: 'Smileys & Emotion',
