Locale customization

Steps to Support a new language

• Under locales folder, localization of a particular language JSON file has to be added.

• Language JSON has to be imported in i18n.ts and load the resources to i18next as follows. import fil from './locales/fil.json'; const resources = { en, fil, ar, hi, kn, ta };

• To ensure the language needs to be included in the const SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES. const { t } = useTranslation('common');

• To use with react, must include the key with the 't' function <Text>{t('editLabel')}</Text>
