Gatsby has announced the launch of gatsby-theme-i18n, a significant step in providing first-class internationalization (i18n) support, enabling the creation of multilingual sites using specialized React components and automating tasks for MDX-based websites. This theme addresses the growing demand for content in users' preferred languages and simplifies the previously complex process of adding i18n to Gatsby sites. It allows developers to use their preferred i18n libraries, with dedicated child themes available for react-intl, react-i18next, and Lingui. The initiative aims to enhance Gatsby's core by integrating i18n features, while also fostering community collaboration and feedback to refine the theme further. The focus is on making the web more accessible and inclusive, acknowledging that while the theme might not initially solve all challenges, it represents a foundational step toward comprehensive i18n support in Gatsby.
