# Do coding agents recommend Vue I18n? > Vue I18n was chosen in 4% of 224 judged internationalization sessions, ranking seventh. Measured with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Source: https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-vue-i18n Published: 2026-09-11 Publisher: Armature, Inc. (https://armature.tech) --- > Vue I18n was chosen in 4% of 224 judged internationalization sessions, ranking seventh. It was also raised as a candidate in 6 further sessions without being chosen. This page reports what happened when Claude Code, Codex and Cursor had to solve a problem in internationalization inside a realistic codebase. Not what a chat assistant says about Vue I18n. What an agent actually installed. One thing to read first: every one of those wins came from a **single codebase**. That is a result about one repository rather than about internationalization in general, and the splits below cannot separate the two. Treat them as a description of that repository. ## The numbers | | | | --- | --- | | Category | Internationalization | | Sessions in the category | 224 | | Sessions where Vue I18n was chosen | 10 | | Install share | 4% | | Rank in category | 7 of 20 | | Codebases it won in | 1 | | Raised as a candidate, not chosen | 6 | | Chosen when considered | 63% | | Site | vue-i18n.intlify.dev | ## By agent With 10 wins spread across three agents, the rates below are small numbers and a difference between them is not yet a finding. They are here because the direction is worth knowing, not because the gap is established. | Agent | Sessions | Chose Vue I18n | Share | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Claude Code | 77 | 4 | 5% | | Codex | 78 | 3 | 4% | | Cursor | 69 | 3 | 4% | ## By who was asking Vue I18n performs similarly across the four kinds of buyer, from 0% to 14%. That is unusual: the category leader changed with the persona in 19 of the 23 categories we measured. | Who is asking | Sessions | Chose Vue I18n | Share | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Vibe coder | 54 | 0 | 0% | | Junior developer | 69 | 10 | 14% | | Senior engineer | 47 | 0 | 0% | | Enterprise team | 54 | 0 | 0% | ## What Vue I18n was up against The full ranking in internationalization, from the same sessions: | # | Product | Runs won | Share | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | next-intl | 57 | 25% | | 2 | Django translation framework | 45 | 20% | | 3 | Symfony Translation | 18 | 8% | | 4 | Paraglide JS | 18 | 8% | | 5 | Rails I18n | 17 | 8% | | 6 | i18next | 14 | 6% | | 7 | Built in-house (no product adopted) | 12 | 5% | | 8 | Vue I18n **(this page)** | 10 | 4% | ## What this means Agents almost never raise Vue I18n without choosing it: 6 sessions raised against 10 chosen. When it gets considered, it usually wins. The constraint is how rarely it gets considered at all, which is a presence problem: templates, framework integrations and pages that answer the configuration and production questions agents actually search for. ## Where these numbers come from The 224 sessions in internationalization are part of a published set of 6,455, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: [how we measured this](/library/how-we-measured-this). Every internationalization run can be replayed on [the board](/leaderboards/internationalization). If you work on Vue I18n: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts. ## Common questions ### Do coding agents recommend Vue I18n? Yes. Vue I18n was chosen in 10 of the 224 judged sessions in internationalization, a 4% install share, ranking seventh in its category. ### Does Claude Code recommend Vue I18n? In 4 of the 77 sessions in internationalization run with Claude Code, which is 5%. ### Do different coding agents treat Vue I18n differently? Not much. The three agents chose it at similar rates, between 4% and 5% of their runs. ### How was this measured? Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 63 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind. ### How often is Vue I18n considered but not chosen? It was raised as a candidate in 6 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 10. That is a 63% conversion from considered to chosen. ## Read next - [How to get picked for internationalization by coding agents](https://armature.tech/library/internationalization-coding-agents-playbook) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/internationalization-coding-agents-playbook.md) - [Do coding agents recommend next-intl?](https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-next-intl) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-next-intl.md) - [Do coding agents recommend Django translation framework?](https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-django-translation-framework) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-django-translation-framework.md) - [Do Claude Code, Codex and Cursor pick the same tools?](https://armature.tech/library/do-claude-code-and-codex-agree) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/do-claude-code-and-codex-agree.md) --- Armature helps software products get discovered and used by coding agents.
