# Nuxt I18n

[Copy for LLMs](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/robots/advanced/i18n.md)

Out of the box, the robots module will integrate directly with [@nuxtjs/i18n](https://i18n.nuxtjs.org/). You will need to use v8+ of the i18n module. Alternatively, [nuxt-i18n-micro](https://github.com/s00d/nuxt-i18n-micro) (v1+) is also supported.

## [Auto-localised Allow / Disallow](#auto-localised-allow-disallow)

The module will automatically localise the `allow` and `disallow` paths based on your i18n configuration.

If you provide a `allow` or `disallow` path that is not localised, it will be localised for you, if your i18n configuration allows it.

nuxt.config.ts

```
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  robots: {
    disallow: ['/secret', '/admin'],
  },
  i18n: {
    locales: ['en', 'fr'],
    defaultLocale: 'en',
    strategy: 'prefix',
  }
})
```

This will generate the following output:

robots.txt

```
User-agent: *
Disallow: /en/secret
Disallow: /en/admin
Disallow: /fr/secret
Disallow: /fr/admin
```

## [Opting-out of localisation](#opting-out-of-localisation)

If you want to opt-out of localisation, there are two options:

### [Opt-out for a group](#opt-out-for-a-group)

You can provide the `_skipI18n` option to a group to disable localisation just for that group.

```
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  robots: {
    groups: [
      {
        disallow: [
          '/docs/en/v*',
          '/docs/zh/v*',
          '/forum/admin/',
          '/forum/auth/',
        ],
        _skipI18n: true,
      },
    ],
  },
})
```

### [Opt-out i18n globally](#opt-out-i18n-globally)

By providing the `autoI18n: false` option you will disable all i18n localisation splitting.

```
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  robots: {
    autoI18n: false,
  }
})
```
