## Overview

In **gt-react 10.8.0**, we've added feature flag support through the `enableI18n` field. This allows you to conditionally disable internationalization, with support for both synchronous and asynchronous loading patterns.

---

## Synchronous Behavior

When `enableI18n` is set to `false`, i18n functionality is disabled by:
- Setting the locale list to only the default locale
- Setting the user's locale to the default locale

```tsx
<GTProvider enableI18n={false}>
  {/* i18n disabled - only default locale available */}
</GTProvider>
```

---

## Asynchronous Behavior

For dynamic feature flags, use `enableI18nLoaded` to indicate loading state:

```tsx
<GTProvider 
  enableI18n={featureFlag} 
  enableI18nLoaded={isLoaded}
>
  {/* Content */}
</GTProvider>
```

When `enableI18nLoaded` is not `undefined`:
- `false`: Feature flag is loading (uses default `enableI18n` value)
- `true`: Feature flag has finished loading

During loading, the library checks the `generaltranslation.enable-i18n` cookie to determine the current state. Once loaded, the explicit `enableI18n` value takes precedence.

---

## SSG/SSR Considerations

With SSG, the first render cycle is sacrificed when the default `enableI18n` value is `false`, as static generation cannot determine the runtime feature flag state.

SSR currently behaves similarly, though we plan to add proper SSR support for Next.js Pages Router in future releases. For Next.js App Router, use `gt-next` instead.
