Which integration option should I use?

Choosing the right integration depends on your project type, technical needs, and how much control you want. Here’s a quick guide:

1. For Static Websites

  • Recommended: locizify

2. For Web, Mobile, Desktop, or Server Apps

  • Recommended: i18next
  • Why: Maximum flexibility and control. Supports advanced features like plurals, interpolation, context, and more. Works with all major frameworks (see supported frameworks, plugins).

3. For Automation & CI/CD
