Custom component internationalization

AdminJS can be used in multiple languages as described in this tutorial. Creating an international version of our custom components is also possible.
Assume we have created a custom React component as described here. We can utilize a generic AdminJS hook called useTranslations.
// ... 
import { useTranslations } from "adminjs"
// ...
​
const CustomComponent = (props) => {
    const {translateComponent} = useTranslations()
    return <div> {translateComponent('CustomComponent.textToTranslate')} </div>
}
We should also add translations to the component's namespace in our locale config to make this work.
const options = {
  // ...
  locale: {
    translations: {
      en: {
        components: {
          CustomComponent: {
            textToTranslate: 'This is text to translate'
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  // ...
}
If we would like to create custom messages to be handled by useNotice hook we have to add our component section to the messages namespace.
const options = {
  // ...
  locale: {
    translations: {
      en: {
        messages: {
          CustomComponent: {
            componentMessage: 'This is a message from a custom component'
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  // ...
}
Usage:
import { useNotice } from "adminjs"
// ...
const sendNotice = useNotice()
// ...
sendNotice({
  message: 'CustomComponent.componentMessage',
  type: 'error',
})
