Template Details

astro-i18n-starter is an Astro theme for building multilingual websites, positioned as a minimal i18n starter template. It uses Astro's official internationalization routing capabilities, with languages distinguished by URL subdirectories, such as example.com/en/ and example.com/ja/. Accessing the root path redirects to the specified default language. The template only supports this subdirectory URL format and does not provide other language URL strategies. Styling uses native CSS, and the README treats the template's own pages as documentation, which can be previewed via local installation or viewed directly on the online example site.
