If you’ve tried adding multiple languages to a Next.js app, you know it can be a pain:
* Big JSON files full of keys
* Forgetting to add a translation
* Config that makes no sense
Here are the 3 main options people use:
next-intl – super simple, small, works fine if your app isn’t too big.
next-i18next – lots of features, lots of plugins, but setup is heavy and the config can get messy.
Intlayer – new option, made for modern Next.js (App Router, Server Components).
