Describe the bug

Hi,

At https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/i18n/ please give an example on how to use translated text. eg

  1. create /en/en.json with ....
  2. have this text translated, instead of always english: This page is also available in:

Also, this https://www.11ty.dev/docs/i18n/ lists other plugins (including the confusing eleventy-plugin-i18n which is dead, not updated in 5 years), instead of the built-in i18n plugin.

Thanks
