Is doks multilingual?

[epogrebnyak]

Congratulations on release of new theme! I wonder if adding content two or more languages is an option?

Doks is multilingual. For, Hugo supports multiple languages out of the box: https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/

Would be nice if some demo code can show how to make doks multilingual, especially for people who are not so geek like me. 😄
Really impressed by the simple style, thank you for making this template.

Here is an example of adding a language to Doks theme, feel free to explore. The source files are here: https://gitlab.com/epogrebnyak/doks-howto and the resulting site is https://epogrebnyak.gitlab.io/doks-howto/#translation

@h-enk, there some possible enhacement to the theme with respect for translation - but I think ther can be better discussed in issues. One is that there is not language switch in the theme yet, so even with translation the result is just a new language version and /<lang>/ and another one is that one needs title in config.toml, not params.toml to make upper left "main" menu to work. There are other, lesser issues too, so far I took note of them in Russian at demo homepage.

@epogrebnyak, nice work! I will have a closer look at it later.

Thank you! I'll have a look!

Thank you, hope it is useful demo! I was not even sure I'd manage to complete the demo, as there are little traps in Hugo you can fall at first and spend a lot tiof figuring away out. I had to recall the translations in Academic theme and more recently in LoveIt, CodeIT blogging themes that are bilingual from a start. Can make a How-To or something similar for the docs, once a demo settles and reviews. вт, 2 февр. 2021 г., 12:01 Henk Verlinde <notifications@github.com>:

Doks now supports translations, multilingual i18n out of the box:
https://getdoks.org/docs/how-to/extra-features/multilingual-mode/

[hawkerm]

This page no longer exists and the new page is blank?

I tried following the hugo instructions here: https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/#translation-of-strings

I created a new i18n folder at the root of my project and added a en.toml file with:

[get_started]
other = "Start here"

But it didn't override the 'Example Guide' definition found in doks-core\i18n\en.toml... like I would have expected...

Maybe the old docs could be of any help : multilingual-mode
