The Relearn theme is fully compatible with Hugo multilingual mode.
|
|
|
|
It provides:
|
|
|
|
- Translation strings for default values (English, Arabic, Dutch, Piratized English, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Piratized English, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Turkish). Feel free to contribute!
|
|
- Automatic menu generation from multilingual content
|
|
- In-browser language switching
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Basic configuration
|
|
|
|
After learning [how Hugo handle multilingual websites](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual), define your languages in your `config.toml` file.
|
|
|
|
For example with current English and Piratized English website.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
# English is the default language
|
|
defaultContentLanguage = "en"
|
|
|
|
[Languages]
|
|
[Languages.en]
|
|
title = "Documentation for Hugo Relearn Theme"
|
|
weight = 1
|
|
languageName = "English"
|
|
|
|
[Languages.pir]
|
|
title = "Documentat'n fer Cap'n Hugo Relearrrn Theme"
|
|
weight = 2
|
|
languageName = "Arrr! Pirrrates"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, for each new page, append the *id* of the language to the file.
|
|
|
|
- Single file `my-page.md` is split in two files:
|
|
- in English: `my-page.md`
|
|
- in Piratized English: `my-page.pir.md`
|
|
- Single file `_index.md` is split in two files:
|
|
- in English: `_index.md`
|
|
- in Piratized English: `_index.pir.md`
|
|
|
|
{{% notice info %}}
|
|
Be aware that only translated pages are displayed in menu. It's not replaced with default language content.
|
|
{{% /notice %}}
|
|
|
|
{{% notice tip %}}
|
|
Use [slug](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/#translate-your-content) Front Matter parameter to translate urls too.
|
|
{{% /notice %}}
|
|
|
|
## Overwrite translation strings
|
|
|
|
Translations strings are used for common default values used in the theme (*Edit this page* button, *Search placeholder* and so on). Translations are available in English and Piratized English but you may use another language or want to override default values.
|
|
|
|
To override these values, create a new file in your local i18n folder `i18n/<idlanguage>.toml` and inspire yourself from the theme `themes/hugo-theme-relearn/i18n/en.toml`
|
|
|
|
## Disable language switching
|
|
|
|
Switching the language in the browser is a great feature, but for some reasons you may want to disable it.
|
|
|
|
Just set `disableLanguageSwitchingButton=true` in your `config.toml`
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[params]
|
|
# When using mulitlingual website, disable the switch language button.
|
|
disableLanguageSwitchingButton = true
|
|
```
