I've read the docs and am still trying to figure out what features Vitepress' i18n is providing. As far as I can tell, I'm simply providing the files in separate directories specific to the language. Does Vitepress redirect users to the appropriate page based on their browser's default language? |

Yeah that, and rest of the placeholders (like search, that "on this page" label, "previous page"/"next page" thing, ...). Nearly the whole theme. Also, you can have html attributes/head config, etc. based on that. It's basically for having different stuff for different locales if you want. |
