-## 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.
+Compared to main solutions like `preact-i18n` or `i18next`, Intlayer is a solution that comes with integrated optimizations such as:
 
-With Intlayer, you can:

-- **Easily manage translations** using declarative dictionaries at the component level.
-- **Dynamically localize metadata**, routes, and content.
-- **Ensure TypeScript support** with autogenerated types, improving autocompletion and error detection.
-- **Benefit from advanced features**, like dynamic locale detection and switching.

+
+Intlayer is optimized to work perfectly with Preact by offering **component-level content scoping**, **lazy-loaded translations**, and all the features needed for scaling internationalization (i18n).

+
+Instead of loading massive JSON files into your pages, load only the necessary content. Intlayer helps **reduce your bundle and page sizes by up to 50%**.

+Scoping your application's content **facilitates maintenance** for large-scale applications. You can duplicate or delete a single feature folder without the mental burden of reviewing your entire content codebase. Additionally, Intlayer is **fully typed** to ensure your content's accuracy.
