# Internationalization
## The `lang` route parameter
All page paths starts with a language parameter, e.g. `/sv/utforska-scandic/wi-fi`.
### Get the language in a client component
We have a hook called `useLang` that directly returns the `lang` parameter from the path.
### Get the language in a server component
In order to not prop drill that all the way from a page we use React's `cache` in a way that resembles React`s context, but on the server side.
For this to work we must set the language with `setLang` on all root layouts and pages, including pages in parallel routes. Then we can use `getLang` in the components where we need the language.
This was inspired by [server-only-context](https://github.com/manvalls/server-only-context)
