Global Sites AI

Global Sites AI Boilerplate is a multilingual static site boilerplate designed to help developers build fast, SEO-friendly sites with AI-assisted translations. It uses i18next for translations and provides a language switcher, per-language content, and automated tooling to generate multi-language pages and associated metadata (sitemaps, robots.txt). It is not tied to React or Next.js, but concepts are approachable for React developers familiar with template-based rendering and translation workflows. The boilerplate includes sample TypeScript files and build scripts that demonstrate rendering language-specific pages, creating translation-enabled routes, and exporting final HTML assets ready for deployment. The project emphasizes speed, small output size, and easy expansion to 20+ languages, with optional human review and AI-generated translations.

How It Works

• The system renders language-specific pages using a language-aware layout and a translation layer powered by i18next. Content strings are defined in templates and translated at build time.
• A language switcher is built into the framework, allowing users to switch languages via a dropdown or footer links. URLs are adjusted to reflect the chosen language.
• The build process compiles static HTML for all configured languages, generates a sitemap that includes all language versions, and produces a robots.txt tailored to multi-language indexing.
• Translations can be produced via AI (Google Translate / similar) and optionally reviewed by humans. The pipeline outputs final HTML files and a translation source repository for updates.
• The boilerplate ships with example pages (Index, ContactUs, FAQ, PrivacyPolicy) and a base TS/JS project structure to illustrate how to wire pages, translations, and assets together.
• It is designed to keep HTML small and fast, with typical page files around ~20KB, ensuring quick load times for multi-language sites.

How to Use Global Sites AI Boilerplate

1. Install and set up the project in your preferred environment.
2. Configure supported languages and translation sources in the setup files.
3. Add or modify pages (e.g., Index, ContactUs, FAQ, PrivacyPolicy) and insert translatable strings into templates.
4. Run the build to generate per-language HTML assets, the sitemap, and robots.txt.
5. Deploy the output to your hosting provider.

Build and Architecture Notes

• TypeScript-based files demonstrate how to render language-specific pages and export static assets.
• The build pipeline combines content rendering, translation rendering, and static site generation into a single workflow.
• No dependency on React/Next.js; focuses on static HTML generation with template-driven rendering.
• Validation steps include HTML validation as part of the build process.

Safety and Legal Considerations

• Translations are AI-generated and may require human review for accuracy and compliance with branding or legal standards.
• As with any multilingual site, ensure correct localization, privacy notices, and terms for each language region.
