+## 🆕 Plugin-Based Architecture (New in v1.1.0)
+
+The new plugin-based architecture provides a component registration system with rigid compile-time type safety.
+
+### Quick Start with Plugin Architecture
+
+```typescript
+import { 
+  createCoreI18nEngine, 
+  CoreStringKey, 
+  CoreLanguage,
+  ComponentDefinition,
+  ComponentRegistration
+} from '@digitaldefiance/i18n-lib';
+
+// Create engine with default languages and core strings
+const i18n = createCoreI18nEngine('myapp');
+
+// Use core translations
+const welcomeMessage = i18n.translate('core', CoreStringKey.System_Welcome);
+const errorMessage = i18n.translate('core', CoreStringKey.Error_ValidationFailed);
+
+// Define your own component with type safety
+enum MyComponentStringKey {
+  Welcome = 'welcome',
+  Goodbye = 'goodbye',
+  UserGreetingTemplate = 'userGreetingTemplate'
+}
+
+const MyComponent: ComponentDefinition<MyComponentStringKey> = {
+  id: 'my-component',
+  name: 'My Custom Component',
+  stringKeys: Object.values(MyComponentStringKey)
+};
+
+// Define translations for all supported languages
+const myComponentStrings = {
+  [CoreLanguage.EnglishUS]: {
+    [MyComponentStringKey.Welcome]: 'Welcome to my component!',
+    [MyComponentStringKey.Goodbye]: 'Goodbye from my component!',
+    [MyComponentStringKey.UserGreetingTemplate]: 'Hello, {name}!'
+  },
+  [CoreLanguage.French]: {
+    [MyComponentStringKey.Welcome]: 'Bienvenue dans mon composant !',
+    [MyComponentStringKey.Goodbye]: 'Au revoir de mon composant !',
+    [MyComponentStringKey.UserGreetingTemplate]: 'Bonjour, {name} !'
+  },
+  [CoreLanguage.Spanish]: {
+    [MyComponentStringKey.Welcome]: '¡Bienvenido a mi componente!',
+    [MyComponentStringKey.Goodbye]: '¡Adiós desde mi componente!',
+    [MyComponentStringKey.UserGreetingTemplate]: '¡Hola, {name}!'
+  }
+  // TypeScript ensures all CoreLanguages are handled
+};
+
+// Register component (with validation)
+const registration: ComponentRegistration<MyComponentStringKey, CoreLanguage> = {
+  component: MyComponent,
+  strings: myComponentStrings
+};
+
+const validationResult = i18n.registerComponent(registration);
+if (!validationResult.isValid) {
+  console.warn('Missing translations:', validationResult.missingKeys);
+}
+
+// Use your component's translations
+const welcome = i18n.translate('my-component', MyComponentStringKey.Welcome);
+const greeting = i18n.translate('my-component', MyComponentStringKey.UserGreetingTemplate, {
+  name: 'John'
+});
+
+// Change language - affects all components
+i18n.setLanguage(CoreLanguage.French);
+const frenchWelcome = i18n.translate('my-component', MyComponentStringKey.Welcome);
+// "Bienvenue dans mon composant !"
+```
+
+### Key Plugin Architecture Benefits
+
+1. **Compile-Time Type Safety**: TypeScript ensures all string keys exist for all languages
+2. **Component Isolation**: Each component manages its own strings independently  
+3. **Flexible Language Support**: Components can support different subsets of system languages
+4. **Comprehensive Validation**: Automatic detection of missing translations with detailed reporting
+5. **Fallback System**: Intelligent fallback to default language when translations are missing
+6. **Dynamic Language Addition**: Add new languages at runtime with automatic validation updates
+7. **Extensibility**: Easy to add new languages and components dynamically
+
+### Pre-built Components
+
+The library includes several pre-built components:
+
+#### Core I18n Component
+
+Provides essential system strings in 8 languages:
+
+- English (US/UK), French, Spanish, German, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Ukrainian
+
+```typescript
+import { createCoreI18nEngine, CoreStringKey } from '@digitaldefiance/i18n-lib';
+
+const i18n = createCoreI18nEngine();
+const saveText = i18n.translate('core', CoreStringKey.Common_Save);
+const errorMsg = i18n.translate('core', CoreStringKey.Error_ValidationFailed);
+```
+
+#### User System Component (Example)
+
+Demonstrates user management strings:
+
+```typescript
+import { 
+  registerUserSystemComponent, 
+  getUserTranslation, 
+  UserStringKey 
+} from '@digitaldefiance/i18n-lib';
+
+// Register user system with existing engine
+registerUserSystemComponent(i18n);
+
+// Use user system translations
+const loginText = getUserTranslation(UserStringKey.Auth_Login);
+const userNotFound = getUserTranslation(
+  UserStringKey.Error_UserNotFoundTemplate, 
+  { username: 'john_doe' }
+);
+```
+
+### Advanced Plugin Usage
+
+#### Adding New Languages
+
+```typescript
+import { createLanguageDefinition } from '@digitaldefiance/i18n-lib';
+
+// Add Italian support
+const italian = createLanguageDefinition('it', 'Italiano', 'it');
+i18n.registerLanguage(italian);
+
+// Update existing components with Italian translations
+i18n.updateComponentStrings('my-component', {
+  it: {
+    [MyComponentStringKey.Welcome]: 'Benvenuto nel mio componente!',
+    [MyComponentStringKey.Goodbye]: 'Arrivederci dal mio componente!',
+    [MyComponentStringKey.UserGreetingTemplate]: 'Ciao, {name}!'
+  }
+});
+```
+
+#### Component Registration Validation
+
+The plugin engine provides comprehensive validation to ensure translation completeness:
+
+```typescript
+// Each component is validated against ALL system languages
+enum MyStrings {
+  Welcome = 'welcome',
+  Goodbye = 'goodbye'
+}
+
+const myComponent: ComponentDefinition<MyStrings> = {
+  id: 'my-component',
+  name: 'My Component',
+  stringKeys: Object.values(MyStrings)
+};
+
+// System has EN, FR, ES languages - component must provide translations for all three
+const registration: ComponentRegistration<MyStrings, CoreLanguage> = {
+  component: myComponent,
+  strings: {
+    [CoreLanguage.EnglishUS]: {
+      [MyStrings.Welcome]: 'Welcome',
+      [MyStrings.Goodbye]: 'Goodbye'
+    },
+    [CoreLanguage.French]: {
+      [MyStrings.Welcome]: 'Bienvenue',
+      [MyStrings.Goodbye]: 'Au revoir'
+    },
+    [CoreLanguage.Spanish]: {
+      [MyStrings.Welcome]: 'Bienvenido', 
+      [MyStrings.Goodbye]: 'Adiós'
+    }
+  }
+};
+
+const result = i18n.registerComponent(registration);
+if (!result.isValid) {
+  console.log('Missing translations:', result.missingKeys);
+  // Shows exactly which string keys are missing for which languages
+}
+```
+
+#### Flexible Language Support
+
+Components can support different subsets of system languages:
+
+```typescript
+// Component A supports EN, FR, ES
+const componentA = {
+  component: { id: 'comp-a', name: 'Component A', stringKeys: ['hello'] },
+  strings: {
+    en: { hello: 'Hello' },
+    fr: { hello: 'Bonjour' },
+    es: { hello: 'Hola' }
+  }
+};
+
+// Component B only supports EN and DE (added later)
+const componentB = {
+  component: { id: 'comp-b', name: 'Component B', stringKeys: ['save'] },
+  strings: {
+    en: { save: 'Save' },
+    de: { save: 'Speichern' }
+  }
+};
+
+// Both components can coexist - missing translations use fallback
+i18n.registerComponent(componentA); // ✓ Complete
+i18n.registerComponent(componentB); // ⚠ Missing FR, ES - uses fallback
+
+// Usage automatically handles fallbacks
+i18n.translate('comp-b', 'save', {}, 'fr'); // Returns 'Save' (EN fallback)
+```
+
+#### Dynamic Language Addition
+
+```typescript
+// Add new language to system
+const germanLang = { id: 'de', name: 'German', code: 'de' };
+i18n.registerLanguage(germanLang);
+
+// New component registrations now require German translations
+const newRegistration = {
+  component: { id: 'new-comp', name: 'New Component', stringKeys: ['test'] },
+  strings: {
+    en: { test: 'Test' },
+    fr: { test: 'Test' },
+    es: { test: 'Prueba' }
+    // Missing 'de' - validation will flag this
+  }
+};
+
+const result = i18n.registerComponent(newRegistration);
+console.log(result.missingKeys); // Shows missing German translations
+```
+
+#### Validation and Error Handling
+
+```typescript
+// Comprehensive validation
+const globalValidation = i18n.validateAllComponents();
+if (!globalValidation.isValid) {
+  console.error('Validation errors:', globalValidation.errors);
+  console.warn('Warnings:', globalValidation.warnings);
+}
+
+// Handle registration errors
+try {
+  i18n.registerComponent(incompleteRegistration);
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof RegistryError) {
+    console.error(`Registry error: ${error.type}`, error.metadata);
+  }
+}
+
+// Strict validation mode (rejects incomplete registrations)
+const strictEngine = new PluginI18nEngine(languages, {
+  validation: {
+    requireCompleteStrings: true,
+    allowPartialRegistration: false,
+    fallbackLanguageId: 'en'
+  }
+});
+```
+
+#### Multi-Instance Support
+
+```typescript
+// Create separate instances for different contexts
+const adminI18n = PluginI18nEngine.createInstance('admin', languages);
+const userI18n = PluginI18nEngine.createInstance('user', languages);
+
+// Register different components for each
+adminI18n.registerComponent(adminComponentRegistration);
+userI18n.registerComponent(userComponentRegistration);
+```

 ## Best Practices
 
+### Plugin Architecture (Recommended for New Projects)
+
+1. **Use Component Registration**: Organize translations into logical components with `PluginI18nEngine`
+2. **Define String Key Enums**: Always use TypeScript enums for string keys to ensure compile-time type safety
+3. **Complete Component Translations**: Provide translations for all supported languages in each component
+4. **Validate Registrations**: Check validation results and handle missing translations appropriately
+5. **Use Core Components**: Start with `createCoreI18nEngine()` for built-in system strings
+6. **Fallback Strategy**: Configure appropriate fallback languages for missing translations
+7. **Component Isolation**: Keep related strings together in the same component
+8. **Template Variables**: Use template strings with variables for dynamic content
+9. **Multi-Instance Architecture**: Use named instances for different application contexts (admin, user, etc.)
+
+### Legacy System (Still Supported)
+
 1. **Complete Translations**: EnumTranslation requires all enum values to be translated
 2. **Type Safety**: Use TypeScript enums for string keys and languages
 3. **Context Separation**: Use different contexts for admin and user interfaces
@@ -430,10 +832,44 @@ If localized error messages aren't provided, the engine falls back to English te
 6. **Layered Extension**: Use union types when extending configurations across libraries
 7. **Default Configuration**: Use `getDefaultI18nEngine()` for standard setups
 
+### Migration Strategy
+
+When migrating from legacy to plugin architecture:
+
+```typescript
+// Legacy approach
+const legacy = new I18nEngine(config);
+const text = legacy.translate(MyStrings.Welcome);
+
+// New plugin approach  
+const modern = createCoreI18nEngine();
+modern.registerComponent(myComponentRegistration);
+const text = modern.translate('my-component', MyStrings.Welcome);
+```
+
+Both systems can coexist in the same application during migration.
