Multilingual support #121

fmaida · 2023-09-21T08:30:49Z

What problem does this PR solve?

The theme can now display links, buttons and messages in languages other than English. Instead of having to edit the theme by hand, simply create a .yaml file inside the i18n folder.

Is this PR adding a new feature?

In order to display the dates in international format, I had to edit line no. 9 in the layout/partials/postcard.html file and use the time.Format command (documented here: https://gohugo.io/functions/dateformat/ )

time.Format is supported by Hugo only from version 0.87.0 onwards, so I had to raise the minimum theme requirements from version 0.86.0 to 0.87.0

Is this PR related to any issue or discussion?

Yes, please see discussion #118

@fmaida, this PR looks great so far.

I believe the only remaining component is a language switcher in the form of a dropdown menu. Would it be possible for you to incorporate this feature?

Regarding the placement of this dropdown, I feel it can appear after the About | but before the theme toggle in the navbar. I am open to considering other ideas.
