Localization

How to deal with different languages?

Hey, not entirely sure about the complete features of Jekyll yet, but I'd assume you could probably create localized versions of markdown files and then maybe just implement a selection box on the website to easily change around the language.

Hi, thanks for the question.

Although I am not on the forum, I read it.

I would follow the same approach mozilla/activate.mozilla.community is going, i.e. would pull the translation in from a data file or include.
(Disclaimer: I am a Mozillian and contributed to that project.)

Do you have a preferation about how the URL should look like?

Speaking of the forum: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/online-portal-for-fairphone-community/28956/11
Which posts would there be? Because there is a ruby lib for talking to the Discourse API (which is one reason why I went for Jekyll instead of, say, Hugo).

In general I was thinking about fairphone.community/angels (for example). Is it possible that we have fairphone.community/en/angels and that the language is automatically inserted?

[Ryuno-Ki]

Done.

I'll have to add the language switcher later on (I'll update todo part of README next).
Note, that en is the default language at the moment.
I had to tweak jekyll-seo-tag to work with jekyll-multiple-languages-plugin a bit. That is, our default theme (minima) has jekyll-seo-tag already included, so I had to disable the <title> generation to make it translateable.

Browse http://localost:4000/de/angels/ for example.

Looking into jekyll/jekyll-sitemap#88 and kurtsson/jekyll-multiple-languages-plugin#68 for multilang sitemap.xml.

I'll watch the other two issues and reopen if there is a way to render multilanguage sitemaps.
