Different .yml files for different pages #69

Open aulneau opened 8 years ago

aulneau commented 8 years ago

Hello!

Rather than including different .md or .html files for page content as translate files (thus duplicating markup) would it be possible to separate out different .yml files for each of the pages while still referencing them as such: {% t page.home.section.hero.buttons.new-chart %}

Thank you for your work on this!

Hi @aulneau, currently the plugin only searches for translations that exist into a single YAML file for each language, for example en.yml for English and pt.yml for Portuguese.

You can avoid duplicating markup by creating HTML layouts, and your .md files should have the minimum markdown markup possible. You can avoid markup redundancy by removing markup from .md and placing them into HTML layouts and includes. Try using the YAML files for small strings and .md files only for long texts.

If I could see your site, maybe I could help more.
