-## What is Intlayer?
+## Why Intlayer over alternatives?
 
-**Intlayer** is an innovative, open-source internationalization (i18n) library designed to simplify multilingual support in modern web applications. It works seamlessly with **SvelteKit's** Server-Side Rendering (SSR) capabilities.
+Compared to main solutions like `svelte-i18n` or `i18next`, Intlayer is a solution that comes with integrated optimizations such as:

-- **Easily manage translations** using declarative dictionaries at the component level.
-- **Dynamically localize metadata**, routes, and content.
-- **Ensure TypeScript support** with autogenerated types.
-- **Leverage SvelteKit's SSR** for SEO-friendly internationalization.
+Intlayer is optimized to work perfectly with SvelteKit by offering **multilingual routing**, **SSR support**, and all the features needed for scaling internationalization (i18n).
