Hi @Adnan Erlansyah. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
For internationalization in Nuxt 3, there isn't a specific folder structure mandated by the framework for this purpose. However, based on the provided knowledge sources, I can suggest some best practices:
1. You can create a separate folder for internationalization files, commonly named
i18n or locales. This is not a standard Nuxt 3 directory, but it's a common convention in many projects.
2. The configuration for i18n should be placed in the nuxt.config.ts file, not in a separate i18n.config.ts file. This is important for proper functionality, as mentioned in the Stack Overflow post about i18n browser detection (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77430938).
3. If you're using composables for i18n-related functionality, you can place them in the composables/ directory. Nuxt 3 auto-imports composables from this directory as explained in the Nuxt documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/composables#usage).
4. For constants related to internationalization, you could indeed place them in composables/constants/, but be aware that Nuxt only scans top-level files in the composables/ directory by default. If you want to use nested directories, you'll need to configure this in your nuxt.config.ts file as described in the Nuxt documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/composables#how-files-are-scanned).
5. If you're dealing with locale-specific assets like fonts, you might want to place them in the public/ directory as suggested in the Nuxt styling documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/styling#working-with-fonts).
Given these considerations, it's generally cleaner to keep internationalization files separate from composables and constants. A separate i18n/ or locales/ folder at the root of your project would be a suitable choice for organization, with the main configuration in nuxt.config.ts.
Remember, Nuxt 3 is flexible and allows you to structure your project in a way that makes sense for your specific needs, as long as you configure it correctly.
