**Learn theme** is fully compatible with Hugo multilingual mode.
|
|
|
|
It provides:
|
|
|
|
- Translation strings for default values (English and French). 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 French and English website.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
# English is the default language
|
|
defaultContentLanguage = "en"
|
|
# Force to have /en/my-page and /fr/my-page routes, even for default language.
|
|
defaultContentLanguageInSubdir= true
|
|
|
|
[Languages]
|
|
[Languages.en]
|
|
title = "Documentation for Hugo Learn Theme"
|
|
weight = 1
|
|
languageName = "English"
|
|
|
|
[Languages.fr]
|
|
title = "Documentation du thème Hugo Learn"
|
|
weight = 2
|
|
languageName = "Français"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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.en.md`
|
|
- in French: `my-page.fr.md`
|
|
- Single file `_index.md` is split in two files:
|
|
- in English: `_index.en.md`
|
|
- in French: `_index.fr.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 french and 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-learn/i18n/en.toml`
|
|
|
|
By the way, as these translations could be used by other people, please take the time to propose a translation by [making a PR](https://github.com/matcornic/hugo-theme-learn/pulls) to the theme !
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
