Requirements

This plugin depends on Sanity’s documentInternationalization plugin to handle multilingual document structures.

Make sure you have it installed and configured before enabling the Lilt plugin:

npm install @sanity/document-internationalization

Then add it to your sanity.config.ts:

import { documentInternationalization } from '@sanity/document-internationalization'

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  plugins: [
    documentInternationalization({
      // configure your supported languages here
      supportedLanguages: [
        { id: 'en', title: 'English' },
        { id: 'de', title: 'German' },
        { id: 'fr', title: 'French' },
      ],
      schemaTypes: ['page', 'post'], // schema types you want to translate
    }),
    liltPlugin(),
  ]
})
