Research on i18n with Gatsby

Gatsby is working on developing an internationalization (i18n) theme to enhance the integration of multiple languages and cultural nuances into websites and applications, aiming to make Gatsby a first-class citizen in the realm of headless CMSs. The initiative seeks to address various challenges users face, such as the complexity of generating locale-specific pages, integrating non-local files, and dealing with SEO and right-to-left text support. The research identified existing pain points in Gatsby's i18n ecosystem, including scalability issues, the need for manual adjustments, and difficulties in using third-party localization platforms. The upcoming release of the alpha version of gatsby-theme-i18n aims to solve some of these issues, and the Gatsby team encourages community involvement through their Discord channel to refine the solution and gather feedback.
