 If the localePath is a function, make sure you also define the ns option, because on server side we're not able to preload the namespaces then.
 
 All other [i18next options](https://www.i18next.com/overview/configuration-options) and [react-i18next options](https://react.i18next.com/latest/i18next-instance) can be passed in as well.
+</br>
+You can also pass in the [`resources`](https://www.i18next.com/overview/configuration-options#languages-namespaces-resources) directly in combination with setting `localePath` to `null`.
