What is Verbaly?
Verbaly is an open-source i18n toolkit that inverts the usual flow: you write natural text in your code and the compiler extracts the messages, generates stable keys, TypeScript types and per-locale bundles. It ships the core verbaly runtime (~3 KB, zero dependencies) plus framework packages for @verbaly/react, @verbaly/vue, @verbaly/svelte and build plugins for Vite and every major bundler.
The whole write→ship cycle lives in one tool: init, live extraction, machine and human translation, a CI gate that fails the build on missing translations, and a static renderer that ships pages already translated. Catalogs are plain JSON: no proprietary format, portable to any TMS.
Why Verbaly?
Every i18n library translates text. The difference is how much work it leaves on your desk. Verbaly's answer: as little as possible.
verbaly init), one plugin, and you're translating. Catalogs are plain JSON files you can open, diff and take anywhere.Verbaly is pre-1.0, so the API can still change between minor versions (every change is called out in the changelog). And if what you need is a huge plugin ecosystem, i18next has years of it. What Verbaly offers is the same job with far less machinery, and an honest comparison to check it.
