Sorry for tagging, can you please take a look ?

What happens if you use absLangURL on the stylesheet URL?

{{ $stylesheet.Permalink | absLangURL }}

This is a question for @bep. Like 90% of everything in Hugo, he wrote all of the multilingual and resources code.

A work-around would be to pass a relative link to absLangURL. If absLangURL is passed an absolute link (with a https:// prefix), it simply returns the input (we should be mentioned in the docs). Try this:

{{ $stylesheet.RelPermalink | absLangURL }}

Thank you ! That works :)

But shouldn't it be generating it with .Permalink way ? as all other media like images in page bundles, links, pagination works perfectly fine with only .Permalink.

@moorereason @davidsneighbour Any updates on this ? Is it a bug or it is working as intended ? 🤔

Update: This does not work when there is only one baseURL in multilingual site, but works on configs with specific baseURL defined for each language.
