Quick Integration
Start from an existing React or Next.js app and let the i18nexus CLI wire up the translation workflow for you.
npx @i18nexus/cli initWhat the init command does
Run the command from the root of your app. The CLI walks you through setup in a few minutes, then leaves your project ready to sync translations from i18nexus.
1Sign in or create an account
The CLI opens your browser so you can sign in or create an i18nexus account. When authentication finishes, you come right back to the terminal.
2Create your i18nexus project
Init creates a new project for the app you are working in and asks for the basics it needs, like your base language and target languages.
3Import your existing translations
If your app already has local JSON translation files, the CLI uploads them into your new project so you do not have to start over.
4Set up local sync
The CLI configures i18nexus listen for development, so translation updates from the dashboard, teammates, or AI agents sync back into your local project.
5Prepare production builds
Init adds an i18nexus pull pre-build command so production builds pull the latest translations and bundle them with your app.
6Connect AI coding agents
If you want, init can configure the i18nexus MCP so Claude, Codex, and other agents create or update strings through i18nexus instead of editing local JSON files.
After init finishes
Your translations now live in i18nexus as the source of truth. You can invite teammates, review strings, verify AI-generated translations, and keep app context attached to the copy your app uses.
During development, i18nexus listen keeps your local files current. During production builds, i18nexus pull makes sure the latest translations are bundled with your app.
For AI workflows, the i18nexus MCP lets agents manage translations through i18nexus instead of editing local JSON files directly.
Level up your localization
It only takes a few minutes to streamline your translations forever.
