Routing

next-intl integrates with Next.js’ routing system in two places:

Proxy / middleware: Negotiates the locale and handles redirects & rewrites (e.g. / → /en)
Navigation APIs: Lightweight wrappers around Next.js’ navigation APIs like <Link />

This enables you to express your app in terms of APIs like <Link href="/about">, while aspects like the locale and user-facing pathnames are automatically handled behind the scenes (e.g. /de/über-uns).
