Translate your site

Let's translate docs/intro.md to French.

Configure i18n​

Modify docusaurus.config.js to add support for the fr locale:

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
  i18n: {
    defaultLocale: 'en',
    locales: ['en', 'fr'],
  },
};

Translate a doc​

Copy the docs/intro.md file to the i18n/fr folder:

mkdir -p i18n/fr/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/

cp docs/intro.md i18n/fr/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/intro.md

Translate i18n/fr/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/intro.md in French.

Start your localized site​

Start your site on the French locale:

npm run start -- --locale fr

Your localized site is accessible at http://localhost:3000/fr/ and the Getting Started page is translated.

In development, you can only use one locale at a same time.

Add a Locale Dropdown​

To navigate seamlessly across languages, add a locale dropdown.

Modify the docusaurus.config.js file:

docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
  themeConfig: {
    navbar: {
      items: [
        {
          type: 'localeDropdown',
        },
      ],
    },
  },
};

The locale dropdown now appears in your navbar:

Build your localized site​

Build your site for a specific locale:

Or build your site to include all the locales at once:

npm run build
