## Problem #396

Description

    ## Problem

Building (sophisticated) i18n for metaframeworks is a month/year-long effort.

For example, SvelteKit's most upvoted issues are about i18n and have been open for years sveltejs/kit#553, sveltejs/kit#1274. I18n in the context of metaframeworks is especially problematic because routing, SSR, SEO, "code splitting", and more needs to be considered.

  • no metaframework has a "one click/simple" i18n solution, sometimes even lacking i18n support entirely
  • every metaframework builds its own solution, leading to duplicate efforts

Proposal

Provide a framework-agnostic i18n library for metaframeworks with the possibility for deep integration via adapters.

We have multiple components in @inlang/core to provide an i18n library already. We can invest resources to relieve metaframework authors from months/years of work to build i18n features for their frameworks. By providing such a library, we simultaneously come closer to our goal to make i18n easy.

  • relieving metaframework authors from months/years of work
  • make every framework better regarding i18n
  • the rest of inlang's dev tools like the ide extension work out of the box, leading to a DX beyond of what a i18n library could provide
