## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the CLI">
    Add `lazylocales` to your project as a dev dependency.

    ```bash theme={null}
    npm install --save-dev lazylocales
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate">
    Log in with your LazyLocales account.

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx lazylocales login
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Translate">
    Run a single command. The CLI detects your source file, computes changes, and translates only what's new.

    ```bash theme={null}
    npx lazylocales translate
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ship it">
    Translated JSON files are written to your locales directory, ready to use.
  </Step>
</Steps>
