Customize Meeting Locale

Dyte's UI Kit allows you to customize all the text within the video call interface. You can personalize the text to align with your specific locale needs.

Customizing the locale involve the following steps:

1. Integrate Dyte's web SDK into your web application
2. Customize the default language pack

Step 1: Integrate Dyte's web SDK into your web application

To get started with customizing the icons for your meetings, you need to first integrate Dyte's Web SDK into your web application.

1. Install the package using npm or Yarn.

npm

npm install @dytesdk/react-native-ui-kit @dytesdk/react-native-core @dyteinternals/react-native-webrtc

Yarn

yarn add @dytesdk/react-native-ui-kit @dytesdk/react-native-core @dyteinternals/react-native-webrtc

pnpm

pnpm add @dytesdk/react-native-ui-kit @dytesdk/react-native-core @dyteinternals/react-native-webrtc

2. Initialize the Dyte client using the useDyteClient() hook. It returns an array with two values, the meeting object and a function to initialize the meeting.
3. Create a meeting room using the Create Meeting API.
4. Generate an authToken using the Add Participant API. An authToken is a unique token that is used to identify a user in the meeting.
5. Initialize the meeting using the initMeeting() method exposed by useDyteClient.
6. Pass the meeting object to the UI Kit.

The DyteMeeting component generates the default UI experience. Read more about how to customize the UI here.

import { useDyteClient } from '@dytesdk/react-native-core';
import { DyteMeeting } from '@dytesdk/react-native-ui-kit';

function App() {
  const [meeting, initMeeting] = useDyteClient();

  useEffect(() => {
    initMeeting({
      authToken: '<auth-token>',
      defaults: {
        audio: false,
        video: true,
      },
    });
  }, []);

  return <DyteMeeting meeting={meeting} />;
}

Step 2: Customize the default language pack

Now that you've integrated Dyte SDK into your application successfully, let's quickly understand how you can customize the language pack for your application.

Dyte's default language pack can be imported like so.

import { defaultLanguage, useLanguage } from '@dytesdk/react-native-ui-kit';

In order to replace Dyte's default locale set with your own, you can pass your own locale to the t prop exposed by the UI components.

// Customise Dyte's default locale object
const myLanguagePack = useLanguage({
  ...defaultLanguage,
  'mute_all': 'Mute All Users',
});

<DyteMeeting meeting={meeting!} t={myLanguagePack} />;
