Multi-Locale Applications

For applications that need to support multiple locales simultaneously, create separate instances:

import { faker } from 'nanofaker'

const enFaker = faker.locale('en')
const esFaker = faker.locale('es')
const jaFaker = faker.locale('ja')

// Generate test data in multiple languages
const users = [
  { name: enFaker.person.fullName(), locale: 'en' },
  { name: esFaker.person.fullName(), locale: 'es' },
  { name: jaFaker.person.fullName(), locale: 'ja' },
]
