· 3 min read
Overview
Supporting multiple languages isn’t just about translating strings—it’s about designing your entire platform to speak more than one language from day one.

- Database models and schema
- API structure
- React frontend rendering
- SEO and routing strategy
- Dynamic content like polls, charts, and tooltips
