Migrating an existing backend from i18next is just changing a few lines of code.

Browser & node.js

Just use the i18next-locize-backend

import i18next from 'i18next';
import Backend from 'i18next-locize-backend';
​
i18next
  .use(Backend)
  .init({
    // ...other options
​
    backend: {
      projectId: '[PROJECT_ID]',
      apiKey: '[API_KEY]',
      referenceLng: '[LNG]'
    }
  });

(You can find your projectId and API Key in your projects settings under the API Tab.)

Find more details and configuration options on the github page.
