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

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.

```ts [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 [robots.txt]
User-agent: *
Disallow: /en/secret
Disallow: /en/admin
Disallow: /fr/secret
Disallow: /fr/admin
```

## Opting-out of localisation

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

### Opt-out for a group

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

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

### Opt-out i18n globally

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

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