Hextra supports creating site with multiple languages using Hugo's multilingual mode.

Enable Multi-language

To make our site multi-language, we need to tell Hugo the supported languages. We need to add to the site configuration file:

defaultContentLanguage: en
languages:
  en:
    languageName: English
    weight: 1
  fr:
    languageName: Français
    weight: 2
  ja:
    languageName: 日本語
    weight: 3

Manage Translations by Filename

Hugo supports managing translations by filename. For example, if we have a file content/docs/_index.md in English, we can create a file content/docs/_index.fr.md for French translation.

{{< filetree/container >}} {{< filetree/folder name="content" >}} {{< filetree/folder name="docs" state="open" >}} {{< filetree/file name="_index.md" >}} {{< filetree/file name="_index.fr.md" >}} {{< filetree/file name="_index.ja.md" >}} {{< /filetree/folder >}} {{< /filetree/folder >}} {{< /filetree/container >}}

Note: Hugo also supports Translation by content directory.

Translate Menu Items

To translate menu items in the navigation bar, we need to set the identifier field:

menu:
  main:
    - identifier: documentation
      name: Documentation
      pageRef: /docs
      weight: 1
    - identifier: blog
      name: Blog
      pageRef: /blog
      weight: 2

and translate them in the corresponding i18n file:

documentation: Documentation
blog: Blog
