+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+<FAQ>
+
+<Question title="What are the different solutions available to internationalize a AdonisJS backend?">
+
+AdonisJS ships `@adonisjs/i18n`, which covers ICU messages in `resources/lang` files with a request scoped service. The alternative is `Intlayer` through `adonis-intlayer`, which declares content in typed files shared with your frontend, resolves the locale per request, and adds AI translation, missing translation checks and a CMS.
+
+The reason to internationalize the backend at all is that a large part of the text a user reads never passes through the frontend: API error messages, transactional emails, push notifications, SMS and PDF exports. Those need the recipient's language, resolved per request rather than per session.
+
+See [why Intlayer](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/interest_of_intlayer.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How much does i18n add to my AdonisJS server bundle size?">
+
+Very little. Dictionaries are compiled ahead of time and only the locales you declare are included, so there is no catalog loading at boot and no file reads on the request path. That matters most on serverless and edge deployments, where the bundle size drives cold start time. See [bundle optimization](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/bundle_optimization.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Can I migrate from `i18next` without rewriting my handlers?">
+
+Yes, and there are two paths. You can migrate the content progressively with the [i18next migration guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/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/compat/index.md) expose the exact same API as `i18next`, but served by Intlayer dictionaries, so imports change and handler 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/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/plugins/sync-po.md) does the same for gettext catalogs, and [per locale files](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/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 catalog one at a time. See the [extract command](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/cli/extract.md).
+
+On the frontend side of the same project, the [Intlayer Compiler](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/compiler.md) goes further and generates the dictionaries at build time from your JSX, TSX, Vue or Svelte source, so the two halves of the app share one content layer with no keys maintained by hand.
+
+</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/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/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/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/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/eslint.md)**: `no-raw-text` flags hardcoded strings, with further rules for static dictionary keys and unused content.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How does Intlayer know which language to answer in?">
+
+By default `adonis-intlayer` reads the `Accept-Language` header of the incoming request and picks the closest declared locale, falling back to your default locale. You can change the source with `routing.storage`, for example a custom header or a cookie set by your frontend, so the API answers in the language the user actually selected rather than the one their browser advertises. See the [configuration reference](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/configuration.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Is the locale isolated per request?">
+
+Yes. The middleware scopes the active locale to the request, so two concurrent requests in different languages never read each other's locale. That is what makes `t()` and `getIntlayer()` safe to call from a service without threading a locale argument through every function.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I send transactional emails in the recipient's language?">
+
+Declare the email content in a content file like any other content, then resolve it with `getIntlayer` for the recipient's stored locale instead of the request locale. This matters for jobs and queues, where the language belongs to the user record and there is no incoming request to read a header from.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I localize API error messages?">
+
+Wrap the message in `t()` at the point where the error is built. The active request locale resolves it, so the client receives a message it can display directly, and your frontend does not need a parallel catalog of error codes.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I use translations inside a controller or a service?">
+
+Call `getIntlayer` with your dictionary key, or wrap a message in `t()`. The active locale comes from the request context the middleware installed, so there is no service to inject and no locale argument to pass down.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does it work with Edge templates?">
+
+Yes. Resolve the content in the controller and pass it to the view, so the template renders already translated values rather than resolving keys itself.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I translate the backend content automatically with AI?">
+
+Run `npx intlayer fill`, which fills missing translations with the LLM of your choice using your own provider and API key. Add `--git-diff` to translate only the content changed on the branch. See the [fill command](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/cli/fill.md) and [CI/CD integration](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/CI_CD.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does Intlayer support plurals, gender and interpolated values on the server?">
+
+Yes: [plural forms](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/plurial.md), [gender based content](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/gender.md), conditions, [insertions](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/insertion.md) for interpolated values, [Markdown](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/markdown.md) for email bodies, and [formatters](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/formatters.md) for numbers, dates and currencies.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Do I get TypeScript autocompletion on the server?">
+
+Yes. Intlayer generates the types of your dictionaries into `./types/intlayer.d.ts`, so a key that does not exist is a compile error rather than an empty string at runtime. Run `npx intlayer test` in CI to fail the build when a declared locale is missing content.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Can the frontend and the backend share the same content?">
+
+Yes, and that is the usual setup. `adonis-intlayer` works alongside `react-intlayer`, `next-intlayer` and `vite-intlayer` on the same declared content, so a label used both in an API response and in a page is declared once. See [how Intlayer works](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/how_works_intlayer.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Is Intlayer free and open source?">
+
+Yes, under the Apache 2.0 license, commercial use included. The hosted [CMS](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/intlayer_CMS.md) is an optional paid service that can also be [self hosted](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/self_hosting.md).

+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+<FAQ>
+
+<Question title="What are the different solutions available to internationalize an Analog app?">
+
+Analog is an Angular meta framework built on Vite, so it inherits the Angular options and adds the Vite ones:
+
+- **`@angular/localize`**: XLIFF extraction with one compiled build per locale, which fits poorly with a file based router and server rendering.
+- **`ngx-translate`** and **`Transloco`**: runtime JSON catalogs through a service, with no integration with Analog's routing or server side rendering.
+- **`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 Vite plugin at build time, fully typed, with runtime locale switching, AI translation, a visual editor and a CMS.
+
+See [why Intlayer](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/interest_of_intlayer.md) and the [Angular guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/intlayer_with_angular_21.md) for the Angular specific APIs.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How much does i18n add to my Analog bundle size?">
+
+Much less than a namespace based setup, because a page never downloads a catalog 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/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/bundle_optimization.md) and the [benchmark](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/benchmark/index.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Can I migrate from `ngx-translate`, `Transloco` or `@angular/localize` without rewriting my templates?">
+
+Largely. Follow the [ngx-translate migration guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/compat/ngx-translate.md) or the [Transloco migration guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/compat/transloco.md) to move the content over. You can also migrate gradually: the [sync JSON plugin](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/plugins/sync-json.md) keeps your existing JSON catalogs as the source of truth and generates Intlayer dictionaries from them, so both layers stay in sync while you move templates across one at a time.

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="Do I need one build per language?">
+
+No. That is the `@angular/localize` model, where each locale is compiled into its own bundle and deployed separately. With Intlayer a single build serves every declared locale, and the active language is resolved at runtime from the URL, a cookie or the `Accept-Language` header.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does Intlayer support Angular signals and standalone components?">
+
+Yes. Content is exposed through signals, so a template re-renders when the locale changes without a page reload, and the provider is registered like any other standalone provider.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I switch the language at runtime?">
+
+Step 6 covers it. `useLocale` exposes the active locale, the declared locales and a setter that persists the choice, and `getLocalizedUrl` rewrites the current path so the user stays on the same route after switching.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does it work with Analog server side rendering and Vite?">
+
+Yes. The `intlayer()` Vite plugin compiles your content and watches it in development, and the locale is resolved on the server so the first HTML response is already in the right language. Prerendered routes resolve their content at build time.
+
+</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/cli/fill.md) and [CI/CD integration](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/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/dictionary/plurial.md), [gender based content](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/gender.md), conditions, [insertions](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/insertion.md), [Markdown](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/markdown.md) and [formatters](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/formatters.md) for numbers, dates and currencies.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I catch missing translations before shipping?">
+
+Run `npx intlayer test` in CI. It fails the build when a declared locale is missing content. The [VS Code extension](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/vs_code_extension.md) reports the same errors while you type. See [testing your content](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/testing.md).
+
+</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/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/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 license, 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/self_hosting.md).

+
+<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/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/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/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/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/eslint.md)**: `no-raw-text` flags hardcoded strings, with further rules for static dictionary keys and unused content.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Do I need one build per language?">
+
+No. That is the `@angular/localize` model, where each locale is compiled into its own bundle and deployed separately. With Intlayer a single build serves every declared locale, and the active language is resolved at runtime from the URL, a cookie or the `Accept-Language` header.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does Intlayer support Angular signals and standalone components?">
+
+Yes. Content is exposed through signals, so a template re-renders when the locale changes without a page reload, and the provider is registered like any other standalone provider.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I switch the language at runtime?">
+
+Step 6 covers it. `useLocale` exposes the active locale, the declared locales and a setter that persists the choice, and `getLocalizedUrl` rewrites the current path so the user stays on the same route after switching.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Does it work with Angular Universal server side rendering?">
+
+Yes. The locale is resolved on the server from the URL or the request headers and passed to the provider, so the server rendered HTML is already in the right language and the client hydrates without switching.
+
+</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/cli/fill.md) and [CI/CD integration](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/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/dictionary/plurial.md), [gender based content](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/gender.md), conditions, [insertions](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/insertion.md), [Markdown](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/dictionary/markdown.md) and [formatters](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/formatters.md) for numbers, dates and currencies.
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How do I catch missing translations before shipping?">
+
+Run `npx intlayer test` in CI. It fails the build when a declared locale is missing content.

+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+<FAQ>
+
+<Question title="What are the different solutions available to internationalize an Angular app?">
+
+- **`@angular/localize`**, the built-in i18n: messages are extracted to XLIFF and each locale is compiled into its own build, which means one deployment artifact per language and no runtime locale switching.
+- **`ngx-translate`** and **`Transloco`**: runtime JSON catalogs loaded through a service, with locale switching but no build time typing.
+- **`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 runtime locale switching, AI translation, a visual editor and a CMS.
+
+The usual reason to leave `@angular/localize` is the one build per locale model. Intlayer keeps a single build and switches language at runtime. See [why Intlayer](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/interest_of_intlayer.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="How much does i18n add to my Angular bundle size?">
+
+Much less than a namespace based setup, because a page never downloads a catalog it does not render. 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/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/bundle_optimization.md) and the [benchmark](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/benchmark/index.md).
+
+</Question>
+
+<Question title="Can I migrate from `ngx-translate`, `Transloco` or `@angular/localize` without rewriting my templates?">
+
+Largely. Follow the [ngx-translate migration guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/compat/ngx-translate.md) or the [Transloco migration guide](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/compat/transloco.md) to move the content over. You can also migrate gradually: the [sync JSON plugin](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/plugins/sync-json.md) keeps your existing JSON catalogs as the source of truth and generates Intlayer dictionaries from them, so both layers stay in sync while you move templates across one at a time.
+
+</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/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/plugins/sync-po.md) does the same for gettext catalogs, and [per locale files](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/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 catalog one at a time. See the [extract command](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/cli/extract.md).
+
+For a fully automated pipeline, the [Intlayer Compiler](https://github.com/aymericzip/intlayer/blob/main/docs/docs/en/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.
