Last month I rebuilt a small website I run. Static export, eight languages, hosted on Cloudflare Pages — free, fast, and nothing to patch.
The catch: static export and i18n don't fight each other, but they change how you think about a few things. Here's what I ended up with and the parts that weren't obvious at first.
The stack
Next.js 15 with next-intl 4, React 18, all of it prerendered with output: 'export'. No middleware, no server functions. Every page becomes a real HTML file at build time.
// next.config.js
