## Overview

`gt-next` v11.1.3 uses Next.js internationalized routing for Pages Router apps. Next.js now owns locale-prefixed URLs, request locale context, browser detection, and client navigation, while `gt-next` loads the matching translation snapshot. Follow the updated [Next.js Pages Router Quickstart](/docs/react/nextjs-pages-router-quickstart) for the complete setup.

## Configure Pages Router locales

Import the same locale settings into `next.config.ts` that you use in `gt.config.json`:

```ts title="next.config.ts"
import type { NextConfig } from 'next';
import { withGTConfig } from 'gt-next/config';
import gtConfig from './gt.config.json';

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  i18n: {
    locales: gtConfig.locales,
    defaultLocale: gtConfig.defaultLocale,
  },
};

export default withGTConfig(nextConfig);
```

The `locales` array must include `defaultLocale`. Pages remain directly under `pages`; a `pages/[locale]` segment and `gt-next` middleware are no longer part of the recommended Pages Router setup.

[`withGTServerSideProps`](/docs/react/nextjs-pages-router-quickstart) and [`withGTStaticProps`](/docs/react/nextjs/pages-router-static-site-generation) read the locale from the Next.js data-function context. Locale selection uses locale-aware Pages Router navigation and the `NEXT_LOCALE` preference cookie.
