Internationalization (i18n)

Overview

The app supports English (en) and French (fr) with automatic language detection based on browser preferences.

Key Files

lib/i18n.ts - Translation strings (313 lines, EN + FR)
lib/language-context.tsx - Context provider (106 lines)
components/language-switcher.tsx - Language selector dropdown (44 lines)

Usage in Components

Basic Translation


tsx
import { useTranslation } from '@/lib/language-context';

export function MyComponent() {
  const t = useTranslation();
  
  return <h1>{t('header.title')}</h1>; // "Smart Mobility Predictor" or equivalent
}

Getting Current Language


tsx
import { useCurrentLanguage } from '@/lib/language-context';

export function MyComponent() {
  const language = useCurrentLanguage();
  console.log(language); // 'en' or 'fr'
}

Switching Language


tsx
import { useLanguage } from '@/lib/language-context';

export function LanguageControl() {
  const { language, setLanguage } = useLanguage();
  
  return (
    <button onClick={() => setLanguage('fr')}>
      Switch to French
    </button>
  );
}

Translation Structure

Translations are organized by feature:


typescript
{
  header: { title, subtitle, documentation },
  hero: { regression, classification, clustering },
  form: { origin, destination, weather, ... },
  results: { estimatedTime, confidence, trafficState, ... },
  footer: { company, resources, ... }
}

Adding New Translations

Open lib/i18n.ts
Add keys to both en and fr translation objects
Use t('feature.key') in components
Maintain same key structure in both languages

Storage

Language preference is persisted in localStorage with key: smart-mobility-language

Currency Management (Tunisia Dinar)

Overview

The app uses Tunisia Dinar (TND) with proper formatting, 3 decimal places, and symbol: د.ت

Key Files

lib/currency.ts - TND utilities (123 lines)

Usage Examples

Format Amount as Currency


tsx
import { formatTND } from '@/lib/currency';

// Basic formatting
formatTND(25.450); // Returns locale-aware formatted string
formatTND(null); // Returns "د.ت0.000"

Simple Formatting


tsx
import { formatSimpleTND } from '@/lib/currency';

formatSimpleTND(100.5); // "د.ت 100.500"

Calculate Savings


tsx
import { calculateSavings } from '@/lib/currency';

const { difference, percentageSavings } = calculateSavings(100, 75);
// { difference: 25, percentageSavings: 25 }

Parse TND String


tsx
import { parseTND } from '@/lib/currency';

const amount = parseTND('د.ت 50.500');
// Returns: 50.5

Format Specifications

Code: TND
Symbol: د.ت
Decimal Places: 3
Locale: ar-TN (Tunisia)
Example: د.ت 150.500

Currency Constants


typescript
CURRENCY = {
  code: 'TND',
  symbol: 'د.ت',
  name: 'Tunisia Dinar',
  decimalPlaces: 3,
  locale: 'ar-TN',
}

Core Features

1. ML Prediction Engine

Three integrated machine learning models:

Regression (Travel Time)

Algorithm: Random Forest
Input: Weather, traffic, time, route
Output: Travel time (minutes) with confidence interval
Metrics: R² = 0.92, MAE = ±3.5 min


typescript
regressionOutput: {
  estimatedTime: 31.2,
  confidence: 89,
  confidence_interval: { lower: 28, upper: 34 },
  adjustmentFactors: { weather: 1.15, traffic: 0.95, timeOfDay: 1.0 }
}

Classification (Traffic State)

Algorithm: XGBoost
Input: Congestion, speed, vehicle count
Output: Traffic state (Fluide, Normal, Dense, Saturated)
Metrics: Accuracy = 0.88, Precision = 0.85


typescript
classificationOutput: {
  state: 'normal',
  probability: 84,
  stateDistribution: { fluide: 5, normal: 84, dense: 10, saturated: 1 },
  averageSpeed: 45
}

Clustering (Zone Profiling)

Algorithm: K-Means
Input: Zone demographics, congestion patterns
Output: Zone cluster with characteristics
Metrics: Silhouette Score = 0.72


typescript
clusteringOutput: {
  clusterId: 2,
  clusterName: 'Residential Suburb',
  silhouetteScore: 0.70
}

2. Smart Routing

Multiple route alternatives with cost/CO₂ comparison
Transport mode recommendations (car, public transport, bike, walk)
Real-time traffic integration
Environmental impact calculation

3. Real-time Data

Weather condition analysis
Traffic segment monitoring
Urban zone profiling
6 Tunis zones with unique characteristics

Best Practices

1. Component Organization

components/
├── prediction-form.tsx        # Client component, form logic
├── prediction-results.tsx     # Client component, display logic
├── language-switcher.tsx      # Client component, i18n control
└── ui/                        # Shadcn UI primitives

Principles:

Single responsibility per component
Props-based configuration
Local state for UI, global context for shared state
Proper error boundaries

2. Type Safety


typescript
// Always define interfaces
interface PredictionRequest { /* ... */ }
interface MLPredictions { /* ... */ }
interface RouteAlternative { /* ... */ }

// Use enums for fixed values
enum WeatherType { CLEAR, CLOUDY, RAINY, STORMY, FOGGY }
enum TrafficState { FLUIDE, NORMAL, DENSE, SATURATED }

3. Error Handling


typescript
// API errors
try {
  const response = await fetch('/api/predict', { /* ... */ });
  if (!response.ok) throw new Error(data.error);
  const data = await response.json();
} catch (err) {
  setError(err instanceof Error ? err.message : 'Unknown error');
}

// Null safety
const formatted = amount != null ? amount.toFixed(3) : '0.000';

4. Performance

Code Splitting: Lazy load components
Memoization: Use React.memo for expensive components
Image Optimization: Use Next.js Image component
Analytics: Vercel Analytics for monitoring

5. Accessibility

Semantic HTML (<main>, <header>, <footer>)
ARIA labels for interactive elements
Color contrast compliance (WCAG AA)
Keyboard navigation support
Screen reader compatibility

6. Styling

Design Tokens: OKLCH colors in globals.css
Responsive: Mobile-first with Tailwind breakpoints
Dark Mode: Light/dark theme support
Consistent Spacing: Use Tailwind scale (4px base)


css
/* globals.css - Design tokens */
:root {
  --primary: oklch(0.52 0.2 260);
  --accent: oklch(0.6 0.21 39);
  --background: oklch(0.98 0.001 260);
  /* ... */
}

7. API Route Best Practices


typescript
// app/api/predict/route.ts
export async function POST(request: Request) {
  try {
    // Validate input
    const body = await request.json();
    
    // Process with ML engine
    const predictions = predictMobility(body);
    
    // Return typed response
    return Response.json({ success: true, data: predictions });
  } catch (error) {
    return Response.json(
      { success: false, error: error.message },
      { status: 400 }
    );
  }
}

Troubleshooting

Issue: Language not persisting

Solution: Check browser localStorage is enabled


javascript
localStorage.getItem('smart-mobility-language')

Issue: Currency formatting broken

Solution: Ensure locale support


typescript
const formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat('ar-TN', {
  style: 'currency',
  currency: 'TND'
});

Issue: API predictions failing

Solution: Check request format matches TypeScript interfaces


typescript
// Ensure all required fields present
const request: PredictionRequest = { /* ... */ };

Issue: TypeScript errors

Solution: Run type check


bash
npx tsc --noEmit

Issue: Build failing

Solution: Clear cache and rebuild


bash
rm -rf .next
npm run build
