## About

I hated i18n keys throughout my code : make the codebase unreadable, made me code much slower. Also made me need to manage translations and JSON files, otherwise I would have had to spend dozens and hundred of dollars in a Saas, whereas AI translation is so, so cheap right now.

So I created my own tool, only for my stack first, then for all the stacks that exists. And it is THE ULTIMATE i18n solution : very, very fast to implement, painless to maintain (because, well, no maintainance AT ALL), and so, so cheap.

Featuring :

- wrap texts into components or functions that would manage the translations : if it exists already it serves it, if not it translates on the fly

- 48 languages, every AppStore localization

- 12 SDKs, SSR, ICU plurals, bundled or not, namespaces... all the basics

- handle UGC, of course, from any language to any language, of course

- self-hostable, free and open source : one docker image, you have unlimited projects (donationware). Or if you dont want self hosting on your VPS, 4€ / month / project, unlimited translations. YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT PRICE

- agent ready : MCP, Context7, llms.txt. I don't expect you to code it yourself, although it would take you 5 minutes too.

- No lock-in, by construction. Your source strings are plain text in your code. Drop the library tomorrow and your app still reads perfectly. Try that with user.welcome.message.
