🧩 What I'm trying to do

I want to dynamically disable translation for some pages, such as /admin or any route matching a certain pattern, by injecting into the i18n.pages config like this:

i18n: {
  customRoutes: 'config',
  pages: {
    'admin': false
  }
}

But I want to do this dynamically from another Nuxt module, based on logic like:

• Whether route path starts with /admin
• Whether the file name includes certain keywords
• Optional user-defined exclude rule function

📌 Problem

The pages:extend hook gives access to all generated Nuxt pages, and I can detect which pages I want to exclude, then inject:

nuxt.options.i18n.pages = {
  ...nuxt.options.i18n.pages,
  ...detectedPagesToExclude
}

However, @nuxtjs/i18n appears to snapshot the config too early, likely before pages:extend runs, and generates i18n-options.mjs using an internal ctx.options, so my dynamic changes to nuxt.options.i18n.pages do not reflect in the generated options.

Describe the bug

❓Question

Is there an official or recommended way to dynamically inject/disable page translation settings (customRoutes: 'config' + pages) at runtime or module time?

More specifically:

• Can you expose a Nuxt hook like i18n:extendPagesConfig(pages) before generating i18n-options.mjs?
• Or is there a safe way to hook into ctx.options.pages in a custom module?
• Or should we write a wrapper module that overrides the i18n module setup?

🧪 What I tried

nuxt.hook('pages:extend', pages => {
  for (const page of pages) {
    if (page.path.startsWith('/admin') && page.name) {
      nuxt.options.i18n.pages[page.name] = false
    }
  }
})

But this doesn't reflect in the generated .nuxt/i18n-options.mjs file.

🙏 Feature request?

Could you consider adding a hook like:

nuxt.hook('i18n:extendPagesConfig', (pages: NuxtPage[], currentConfig: Record<string, any>) => {
  // modify and return updated pages config
})

So that other modules (like i18n-exclude) can safely hook in and modify translation strategy for specific routes?

Let me know if there's already a supported way to do this.

Thanks a lot for the amazing work on @nuxtjs/i18n 🙌
