1 · Copy this prompt into Lovable
Add multilingual support to this Lovable app with Lovalingo.
npm install @lovalingo/lovalingo
In src/main.tsx or app entry, wrap with LovalingoProvider:
import { LovalingoProvider } from '@lovalingo/lovalingo';
<LovalingoProvider
publicAnonKey="YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
defaultLocale="en"
locales={["fr", "es", "de", "it"]}
routing="path"
>
<App />
</LovalingoProvider>
Add a language switcher anywhere in the UI:

How do I add i18n to a Lovable app?
Install @lovalingo/lovalingo via npm, wrap your app with LovalingoProvider, define your target locales, and drop in the LanguageSwitcher component. The full prompt for Lovable's chat is at the top of this page.
Does Lovable support multiple languages natively?
Lovable can generate UI in any language you ask for, but it does not include an i18n layer for runtime language switching, locale URLs, or hreflang SEO. Lovalingo adds that layer in 60 seconds.
How does Lovable i18n work with SEO?
Lovalingo emits proper hreflang tags, locale-prefixed URLs (/fr/page, /es/page, etc), and translated meta descriptions. Google indexes each locale independently and serves the right version to international users.
Can I translate a Lovable app for free?
Yes. Lovalingo's Starter plan is free forever with 1 target language and unlimited words under fair use. Upgrade to Start-up ($9/mo) for up to 3 languages with hreflang SEO.
How is Lovable i18n different from i18next or react-i18next?
react-i18next requires you to manage JSON translation files manually for every string. Lovalingo translates content automatically with AI, no JSON files. You keep editorial control via the dashboard for overrides.
