Internationalization

Internationalization (i18n) in Thulite is powered by Hugo’s multilingual mode.

Quick setup#

1. Define your languages in config/_default/languages.toml.
2. Create language-specific content directories (for example, content/en, content/de, content/nl).
3. Add translated pages with matching paths in each language directory.
4. Add UI string translations in i18n/*.toml.

Configure languages#

In config/_default/languages.toml, each language has its own settings:

[en]
  languageName = "English"
  contentDir = "content/en"
  weight = 10

[de]
  languageName = "German"
  contentDir = "content/de"
  weight = 15

contentDir tells Hugo where to find content for each language.

Add translated content#

Keep the same relative path for each translation.

• English: content/en/docs/getting-started.md
• German: content/de/docs/getting-started.md

This keeps URLs and page structure aligned across languages.

Translate interface strings#

Store shared UI translations in i18n files, such as:

• i18n/en.toml
• i18n/de.toml
• i18n/nl.toml

Example:

[read_more]
other = "Read more"

Use Hugo’s i18n function in templates to render translated strings.
