## What it is
@nuxtjs/i18n is an official Nuxt module that adds internationalization to Nuxt applications, powered by Vue I18n. It provides locale-prefixed route generation, lazy-loaded translation messages, SEO metadata (hreflang, canonical, OpenGraph locale), locale-aware redirection, and per-locale domain support.

## Use cases
- add multiple languages to a Nuxt app
- generate locale-prefixed routes like /fr/about
- lazy-load translation files per language
- generate hreflang and canonical tags for multilingual SEO
- redirect users to their browser language
- serve each language from a different domain
- switch locales with localized links

## When to choose
- you are building a Nuxt 3+ application that needs multilingual content
- you want automatic localized routing and SEO tags without manual setup
- you need lazy-loaded translations to keep bundles small
- you want per-locale domains or subdomains

## When to avoid
- your project is not built on Nuxt (use vue-i18n directly for plain Vue)
- you need i18n for a non-web backend or CLI tool
- you only need simple string translation without routing or SEO concerns

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: internationalization, routing, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: nuxt, vue-i18n, nuxt-module, locale-routing, lazy-loading, hreflang, multilingual, seo, localization, nodejs, web-server
