When you regenerate your docs, Fern picks up the translations, renders the language switcher, and emits a sitemap entry per locale.

<Tip>
To preview translations locally before publishing, use `fern docs dev`. It supports localization on the latest CLI, so you can verify your translated content without running a full build.

Fern lets you publish your documentation in multiple languages from a single source. Readers switch languages from a dropdown in your site header, and each locale gets its own indexable URL for SEO.
