Petite Vue I18n

petite-vue-i18n is a specialized, lightweight internationalization library for Vue 3 applications, offering a trimmed-down feature set compared to the full vue-i18n package. Currently at version 11.3.2, it maintains a regular release cadence with frequent bug fixes and minor improvements, often in sync with the main vue-i18n project. Its primary differentiation lies in its significantly smaller bundle size (up to 45% smaller for runtime-only builds) by exclusively supporting the Composition API and focusing solely on core translation capabilities. It omits features like date/number formatting ($n, $d), rich text rendering ($rt), hierarchical message handling out-of-the-box, the v-t directive, and components like i18n-t, making it ideal for projects where only basic text translation is required and bundle size is critical. Migration to the full vue-i18n is designed to be seamless if more features become necessary later.
