Once the setup pull request is merged, your Mintlify site serves every language you selected. This guide explains what the integration changes in your project so readers land on the right language.

## Multilingual navigation [#navigation]

Locadex converts your `docs.json` navigation into Mintlify's multilingual structure, with one navigation entry per language. Mintlify uses this to render a language switcher and to build the per-language page tree. If your navigation lives in a separate file referenced with `$ref`, Locadex writes the changes there and preserves the `$ref` in `docs.json`.

## URL routing and the default locale [#routing]

Each language is served under its own locale segment, such as `/es/...`. Setup started from **Project > Automations** also prefixes the source locale, such as `/en/...`.

Existing Projects may have a generated configuration that hides the source-locale prefix. In that layout, source pages keep their original paths and only translated languages are prefixed.

See the [configuration reference](/docs/integrations/mintlify/reference/config) for what each mode produces.

## Redirects and localised links [#redirects]

Locadex generates redirects in `docs.json` so existing links continue to resolve after the navigation is restructured. It also localises internal links, static URLs and relative asset references so readers remain in their language while browsing.

## Deploy [#deploy]

The integration only changes files in your repository, so publishing works exactly as it does for any Mintlify project: merge the pull request and let your usual Mintlify deployment build the site. No additional deployment step is required.
