Below is the default configuration for the I18n package:

```js
{
  i18n: {
    src: "dist/site",
    dest: "dist/translated_site",

    default_language: "en",
    locale_src: "i18n/locales",
    generated_locale_dest: "i18n",

		source_version: 2,
		source_delimeter: "\t",

    legacy_path: "_locales"
  },
  serve: {
    port: 8000,
    open: true
  }
};
```

### Custom Configuration

You can override these defaults by passing in options in your Gulpfile:

```js
/* gulpfile.js */
suite.i18n(gulp, {
    "i18n": {
        "default_language": "fr"
    }
});
```
