Setting up a basic multilingual content management system with goHugo

[okeul]

Hello !

The aim was to be able to easily adapt this page to several languages, so I've used the basic language management system offered by goHugo, which works very well with Netlify.

At the moment we only have 2 languages, English and French.

Light mode :

Dark mode :

It's pretty simple :

• If you want to modify an existing language, simply go to the corresponding file in the i18n folder, e.g. i18n/en.yml (for english) and modify the contents. If a translation key does not exist, it automatically switches to English content.
  
  
• If you want to add a new language, it's only a 2-step process
  1. In the hugo.toml file, add the new language (in this case, Spanish in 3rd position)
     
  2. In the i18n folder, add a yml file with the language shortname, for example es.yml (if spanish), and translate each key in this file.
     

That's it :-)

Great idea. Do you need help with something?

I'm sure there are a few translations to improve, but otherwise it's fine.
