With Hugo i18n possibilities, you can easily have a website in your language. This Hugo theme is ready to be translated into other languages. You can create a special file that contains translated text to show the visitor instead of English.

## Translating the Theme
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a folder named `/i18n/` in your Hugo site's root
|
||||
1. Create a file `<LANG-CODE>.yaml` inside `/i18n` folder. Language files `<LANG-CODE>.yaml` should be named according to RFC 5646 with names such as `en-US.yaml`, `fr.yaml`, `de.yaml`, etc.
|
||||
1. Copy a reference template to your translation from `<THEME>/i18n/en.yaml` file
|
||||
1. Translate all available `translation` strings into chosen language
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to create German translation, create a file `/i18n/de.yaml` in the folder of your Hugo site, copy reference template from `<THEME>/i18n/en.yaml` file and translate all available `translation` strings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changing Site Language in Hugo
|
||||
|
||||
To use the translations, just set a correct value for `defaultContentLanguage` in site config file:
|
||||
|
||||
{{< highlight toml >}}
|
||||
defaultContentLanguage = "en" # de / fr / other lang code...
|
||||
{{< /highlight >}}
|
||||
|
||||
In other words, this field determines which i18n file to use.
|
||||
|
||||
