 > The `withIntlayer()` Next.js plugin is used to integrate Intlayer with Next.js. It ensures the building of content declaration files and monitors them in development mode. It defines Intlayer environment variables within the [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) or [Turbopack](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/turbopack) environments. Additionally, it provides aliases to optimise performance and ensures compatibility with server components.

 To go further, you can implement the [visual editor](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/{{locale}}/intlayer_visual_editor.md) or externalise your content using the [CMS](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/{{locale}}/intlayer_CMS.md).
+
+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+<FAQ>
+
+<Question title="What are the different solutions available to internationalize a Next.js Pages Router app?">
+
+The Pages Router still supports the built-in `i18n` field of `next.config.js`, but it only handles locale routing and detection, never the translations themselves, so you still pick a content layer:
+
+- **`next-i18next` / `i18next`** and **`next-intl`**: JSON namespaces loaded per page, the historical pairing with the Pages Router.
+- **`react-intl`** and **`Lingui`**: ICU messages with an extraction step.
+- **`Intlayer`**: the most advanced solution. Content declared anywhere in your codebase ([next to each component or centralized](https://intlayer.org/blog/per-component-vs-centralized-i18n)) and compiled per component, fully typed, with AI translation, a visual editor and a CMS.
+
+See [why Intlayer](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/interest_of_intlayer.md) and the [Next.js i18n benchmark](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/benchmark/nextjs.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How much does i18n add to my Next.js bundle size?">
+
+Much less than a namespace based setup, because a page never downloads a catalogue it does not render. Content is resolved during `getStaticProps` and `getServerSideProps` rather than shipped as catalogues, and the build time compiler replaces `useIntlayer` calls with the exact dictionary entries a component uses, so unused keys and unused languages are dropped, and [dynamic dictionaries](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dynamic_dictionaries/index.md) split the rest per locale. Measured against the usual alternatives, Intlayer reduces bundle and page size by up to 50%. See [bundle optimization](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/bundle_optimization.md) and the [benchmark](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/benchmark/nextjs.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Can I migrate from `next-intl`, `next-i18next` or `i18next` without rewriting my components?">
+
+Yes, and there are two paths. You can migrate the content progressively with the [next-intl migration guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/migration_from_next-intl_to_intlayer.md) or the [i18next migration guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/migration_from_i18next_to_intlayer.md). Or you can keep your current API entirely: the [compat adapters](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/compat/index.md) expose the exact same API as `next-intl`, `react-i18next` and `react-intl`, but served by Intlayer dictionaries, so imports change and component code does not.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Can I keep my existing JSON translation files?">
+
+Yes. The [sync JSON plugin](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/plugins/sync-json.md) keeps your `/messages/{locale}/{namespace}.json` files as the source of truth and generates Intlayer dictionaries from them, in both directions. A [sync PO plugin](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/plugins/sync-po.md) does the same for gettext catalogues, and [per locale files](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/per_locale_file.md) let you split content by language instead of grouping locales in one file.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Do I have to move my content key by key?">
+
+No. Run `npx intlayer extract` and Intlayer reads your components, pulls the user facing strings out and writes a `.content` file next to each one, so you review a diff instead of copying strings into a catalogue one at a time.
+
+For a fully automated pipeline, the [Intlayer Compiler](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/compiler.md) does the same at build time: it scans your JSX, TSX, Vue and Svelte source on every change, generates the dictionaries and keeps them in sync through hot module replacement, so there are no keys to maintain by hand at all.
+
+Two limits are worth knowing before you turn the compiler on. It works by static analysis, so strings that only exist at runtime, such as API error codes or CMS fields, stay out of reach. And it has to tell user facing text apart from application logic like `className="active"` or a status code, which needs a few annotations in a large codebase. The [extract command](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/cli/extract.md) avoids both by keeping you in the loop.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="What editor and AI agent tooling is available?">
+
+Five pieces, all optional:
+
+- **[VS Code extension](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/vs_code_extension.md)**: jump from a `useIntlayer` key to the content file that declares it, extract content from a component, and run build, fill, test, push and pull from the command palette or a dedicated Intlayer tab.
+- **[LSP server](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/lsp.md)**: the same awareness in any editor that speaks LSP, with go to definition, find all references, hover previews of a translated value, autocompletion of keys and fields, and a warning when a key is not declared anywhere. It also resolves `i18next`, `react-i18next`, `next-intl` and `use-intl` calls, which helps while you migrate.
+- **[MCP server](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/mcp_server.md)**: exposes the Intlayer documentation and CLI to Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Claude Code and ChatGPT, so an assistant answers from current docs instead of guessing, and can run commands such as `intlayer fill` itself.
+- **[Agent skills](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/agent_skills.md)**: focused skills such as `intlayer-config`, `intlayer-cli` and `intlayer-content`, plus one per framework, that teach an agent your routing setup and the content node types.
+- **[ESLint plugin](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/eslint.md)**: `no-raw-text` flags hardcoded strings, with further rules for static dictionary keys and unused content.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Should I stay on the Pages Router or migrate to the App Router?">
+
+Nothing here forces the move. Intlayer supports both, and the content declarations are identical, so migrating the router later does not mean rewriting your i18n. If you are already planning the move, follow the [Next.js 16 guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/intlayer_with_nextjs_16.md) instead and get Server Component rendering, which keeps dictionaries off the client entirely.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does the built-in Next.js i18n option still work with the Pages Router?">
+
+Yes, and that is the main difference from the App Router, where it does not apply. It gives you locale prefixes and `Accept-Language` detection but no message layer at all, so it solves routing and leaves translation to a library. You can keep it, or let Intlayer own routing too through `routing.mode` and the middleware in step 4.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I add hreflang tags and localized metadata for SEO?">
+
+Step 8 covers it. Build the alternates with `getMultilingualUrls`, including an `x-default` entry, and emit them from `next/head` on each page so search engines serve the right language version.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I build a localized Link component?">
+
+Step 10 shows it. The component wraps the Next.js `Link` and passes the href through `getLocalizedUrl`, so an internal link written as `/about` becomes `/fr/about` for a French visitor without you repeating the locale at every call site.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I translate the app automatically with AI?">
+
+Run `npx intlayer fill`. It fills missing translations with the LLM of your choice, using your own provider and API key, and `--git-diff` limits the run to the content changed on the branch. See the [fill command](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/cli/fill.md) and [CI/CD integration](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/CI_CD.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does Intlayer support plurals, gender and rich text?">
+
+Yes: [plural forms](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/plurial.md), [gender based content](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/gender.md), conditions, [insertions](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/insertion.md), [Markdown](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/markdown.md) and [formatters](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/formatters.md) for numbers, dates and currencies.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How can translators edit the content without touching the code?">
+
+Through the [visual editor](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/intlayer_visual_editor.md), which runs on your own infrastructure and lets anyone edit text in place on the running app, or the [CMS](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/intlayer_CMS.md), which externalizes content so it can change without a deployment.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Is Intlayer free and open source?">
+
+Yes, under the Apache 2.0 licence, commercial use included. The hosted CMS is an optional paid service that can also be [self hosted](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/self_hosting.md).

 To go further, you can implement the [visual editor](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/intlayer_visual_editor.md) or externalise your content using the [CMS](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/intlayer_CMS.md).
+
+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+<FAQ>
+
+<Question title="What are the different solutions available to internationalize a Nuxt app?">
+
+Two realistic options:
+
+- **`@nuxtjs/i18n`**: the established module, built on `vue-i18n`, with locale files loaded per page and a large configuration surface. `vue-i18n` has no way to namespace messages, so every page bundles the messages of every other page, and that bundle keeps growing as the app adds pages.
+- **`Intlayer`**: the most advanced solution. Content declared anywhere in your codebase ([next to each component or centralized](https://intlayer.org/blog/per-component-vs-centralized-i18n)) and compiled at build time, fully typed, with locale aware routing, AI translation, a visual editor and a CMS.
+
+The difference is where the content lives. `@nuxtjs/i18n` centralizes it in `locales/*.json` files, while Intlayer co-locates it with the component that renders it, so a page ships only the entries it uses and a feature folder can be moved or deleted in one piece. See [why Intlayer](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/interest_of_intlayer.md) and the [Vue i18n benchmark](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/benchmark/vue.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How much does i18n add to my Nuxt bundle size?">
+
+Much less than a namespace based setup, because a page never downloads a catalogue it does not render. Server rendered markup resolves its content on the server, and the build time compiler replaces `useIntlayer` calls with the exact dictionary entries a component uses, so unused keys and unused languages are dropped, and [dynamic dictionaries](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dynamic_dictionaries/index.md) split the rest per locale.

+<Question title="Do I have to put the locale in the URL?">
+
+No. `routing.mode` accepts `"prefix-no-default"` (the default, `/about` and `/fr/about`), `"prefix-all"`, `"no-prefix"` and `"search-params"`, and `routing.domains` maps each locale to its own domain. See the [configuration reference](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/configuration.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I handle SEO metadata and hreflang tags in Nuxt?">
+
+Step 9 of this guide covers it. Localized `useHead` metadata comes from your dictionaries, and `getMultilingualUrls` builds the `hreflang` alternates for every declared locale, including `x-default`, which is also what feeds a localized sitemap.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I build a locale switcher that keeps the current page?">
+
+Use `useLocale` for the active and available locales, and the localized link component from step 8 so navigation stays in the current language. `getLocalizedUrl` rewrites the current path into the target locale, so switching language keeps the reader on the same route.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I translate a Nuxt app automatically with AI?">
+
+Run `npx intlayer fill`. Missing translations are filled with the LLM of your choice using your own provider and API key, and `--git-diff` restricts the run to the content changed on the branch. See the [fill command](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/cli/fill.md) and [CI/CD integration](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/CI_CD.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does Intlayer support plurals, gender and rich text in Vue templates?">
+
+Yes: [plural forms](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/plurial.md), [gender based content](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/gender.md), conditions, [insertions](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/insertion.md), [Markdown](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/markdown.md) and [formatters](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/formatters.md) for numbers, dates and currencies.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How can translators edit the content without touching the code?">
+
+Through the [visual editor](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/intlayer_visual_editor.md), which runs on your own infrastructure and lets anyone edit text in place on the running app, or the [CMS](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/intlayer_CMS.md), which externalizes content so it can change without a deployment.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Is Intlayer free and open source?">
+
+Yes, under the Apache 2.0 licence, commercial use included. The hosted CMS is an optional paid service that can also be [self hosted](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/self_hosting.md).

+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+<FAQ>
+
+<Question title="What are the different solutions available to internationalize a React Native or Expo app?">
+
+- **`i18n-js`** paired with `expo-localization`: the historical pairing, a plain object of messages with no typing.
+- **`react-i18next`**: the React ecosystem standard, with JSON namespaces loaded at runtime.
+- **`Intlayer`**: the most advanced solution. Content declared anywhere in your codebase ([next to each component or centralized](https://intlayer.org/blog/per-component-vs-centralized-i18n)) and compiled by the Metro plugin at build time, fully typed, with AI translation, a visual editor and a CMS.
+
+On mobile the size argument is stronger than on the web, because everything is bundled into the app rather than fetched per page. Compiling content per component keeps unused languages and unused keys out of the bundle. See [why Intlayer](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/interest_of_intlayer.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How much does i18n add to my app bundle size?">
+
+Much less than a runtime catalogue, which matters more on mobile than on the web because everything is bundled into the app rather than fetched per page. The Metro plugin resolves `useIntlayer` calls to the exact entries a component uses, so unused keys and unused languages never reach the binary. Measured against the usual alternatives, Intlayer reduces bundle size by up to 50%. See [bundle optimization](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/bundle_optimization.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Can I migrate from `i18n-js` or `react-i18next` without rewriting my components?">
+
+Yes, and there are two paths. You can migrate the content progressively with the [i18n-js migration guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/compat/i18n-js.md) or the [react-i18next migration guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/migration_from_react-i18next_to_intlayer.md). Or you can keep your current API entirely: the [compat adapters](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/compat/index.md) expose the exact same API as `react-i18next` and `react-intl`, but served by Intlayer dictionaries, so imports change and component code does not.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Can I keep my existing JSON translation files?">
+
+Yes. The [sync JSON plugin](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/plugins/sync-json.md) keeps your `/messages/{locale}/{namespace}.json` files as the source of truth and generates Intlayer dictionaries from them, in both directions. A [sync PO plugin](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/plugins/sync-po.md) does the same for gettext catalogues, and [per locale files](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/per_locale_file.md) let you split content by language instead of grouping locales in one file.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Do I have to move my content key by key?">
+
+No. Run `npx intlayer extract` and Intlayer reads your source files, pulls the user facing strings out and writes a `.content` file next to each one, so you review a diff instead of copying strings into a catalogue one at a time. See the [extract command](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/cli/extract.md).
+
+For a fully automated pipeline, the [Intlayer Compiler](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/compiler.md) does the same at build time on JSX, TSX, Vue and Svelte source, generating the dictionaries on every change so there are no keys to maintain by hand. It works by static analysis, so strings that only exist at runtime stay out of reach, and it needs a few annotations to tell user facing text apart from application logic.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="What editor and AI agent tooling is available?">
+
+Five pieces, all optional:
+
+- **[VS Code extension](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/vs_code_extension.md)**: jump from a `useIntlayer` key to the content file that declares it, extract content from a component, and run build, fill, test, push and pull from the command palette or a dedicated Intlayer tab.
+- **[LSP server](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/lsp.md)**: the same awareness in any editor that speaks LSP, with go to definition, find all references, hover previews of a translated value, autocompletion of keys and fields, and a warning when a key is not declared anywhere. It also resolves `i18next`, `react-i18next`, `next-intl` and `use-intl` calls, which helps while you migrate.
+- **[MCP server](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/mcp_server.md)**: exposes the Intlayer documentation and CLI to Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Claude Code and ChatGPT, so an assistant answers from current docs instead of guessing, and can run commands such as `intlayer fill` itself.
+- **[Agent skills](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/agent_skills.md)**: focused skills such as `intlayer-config`, `intlayer-cli` and `intlayer-content`, plus one per framework, that teach an agent your routing setup and the content node types.
+- **[ESLint plugin](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/eslint.md)**: `no-raw-text` flags hardcoded strings, with further rules for static dictionary keys and unused content.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does Intlayer work with Expo and the Metro bundler?">
+
+Yes. Step 3 adds the Metro plugin, which compiles your `.content.ts` files and regenerates the types on save, so Fast Refresh picks up content edits like any other source change. It works in both Expo Go and development builds.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I detect the device language?">
+
+Read it from `expo-localization` and pass it to the Intlayer provider as the initial locale, then persist the user's explicit choice. Intlayer falls back to your default locale when the device language is not among the declared ones, so the app never renders an empty string.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I change the app language at runtime?">
+
+Step 7 covers it. `useLocale` exposes the active locale, the declared locales and a setter, and the components reading content re-render immediately, so the language changes without restarting the app.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I support right to left languages such as Arabic or Hebrew?">
+
+Use `getHTMLTextDir` to know whether the active locale is right to left, and apply it through the React Native `I18nManager`. Keep in mind that React Native requires a reload for a full RTL layout flip, so most apps prompt the user once when they select an RTL language.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I translate the app automatically with AI?">
+
+Run `npx intlayer fill`, which fills missing translations with the LLM of your choice using your own provider and API key, and `--git-diff` restricts the run to the content changed on the branch. See the [fill command](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/cli/fill.md) and [CI/CD integration](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/CI_CD.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does Intlayer support plurals, gender and rich text?">
+
+Yes: [plural forms](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/plurial.md), [gender based content](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/gender.md), conditions, [insertions](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/insertion.md), [Markdown](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/dictionary/markdown.md) and [formatters](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/formatters.md) for numbers, dates and currencies.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How can translators edit the content without touching the code?">
+
+Through the [visual editor](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/intlayer_visual_editor.md), which runs on your own infrastructure and lets anyone edit text in place on the running app, or the [CMS](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/intlayer_CMS.md), which externalizes content so it can change without a deployment.

+
+<Question title="Is Intlayer free and open source?">
+
+Yes, under the Apache 2.0 licence, commercial use included. The hosted CMS is an optional paid service that can also be [self hosted](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en-GB/self_hosting.md).
