Zola supports having a site in multiple languages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
To get started, you will need to add the languages you want to support
|
|
|
|
|
to your `config.toml`. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
|
|
|
languages = [
|
|
|
|
|
{code = "fr", rss = true}, # there will be a RSS feed for French content
|
|
|
|
|
{code = "it"}, # there won't be a RSS feed for Italian content
|
|
|
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
If you want to use per-language taxonomies, ensure you set the `lang` field in their
|
|
|
|
|
configuration.

## Content
|
|
|
|
|
Once the languages are added in, you can start to translate your content. Zola
|
|
|
|
|
uses the filename to detect the language:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `content/an-article.md`: this will be the default language
|
|
|
|
|
- `content/an-article.fr.md`: this will be in French
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the language code in the filename does not correspond to one of the languages configured,
|
|
|
|
|
an error will be shown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your default language has an `_index.md` in a directory, you will need to add a `_index.{code}.md`
|
|
|
|
|
file with the desired front-matter options as there is no language fallback.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Output
|
|
|
|
|
Zola outputs the translated content with a base URL of `{base_url}/{code}/`.
|
|
|
|
|
The only exception to that is if you are setting a translated page `path` directly in the front-matter.
