Hi @rdoylespk,
unfortunately it's not possible right now, so this would need to be implemented.
FWIW I got translated collections to work in an inelegant way, but it works for my use case.
Let's say I have two languages, en
and zh
. I have a post in both _i18ln/en
and _i18ln/zh
in which I want to embed links to the docs in my resources
collection.
My config.yml
has this in it:
collections:
resources:
output: true
permalink: /resources/:path/
I have a folder called _resources
in my root directory, with this folder structure.
├── en
│ └── test.html
│ └── test2.html
└── zh
└── test.html
└── test2.html
test.html
looks like this in the en
folder:
---
title: "Test 1"
---
Test 1 Content
test.html
looks like this in the zh
folder:
---
title: "測試1"
---
測試1個內容
test2.html
follows the same pattern in each folder.
In my posts for en
and zh
, If I want to present links to the pages in my resources collection, I can do the following:
{% for resource in site.resources %}
{% assign resource_lang = resource.url | slice: 11, 2 %}
{% if resource_lang == site.lang %}
<a href="{{resource.url}}">{{resource.title}}</a>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
This creates links to docs in the resources collection, but only if the doc url contains the site.lang
string at index 11 (after /resources/
).
The above will output this in the en
post:
<a href="/resources/en/test1.html>Test1</a> <a href="/resources/en/test2.html>Test2</a>
The above will output this in the zh
post:
<a href="/resources/zh/test1.html>測試1</a> <a href="/resources/zh/test2.html>測試2</a>
The items will be ordered alphabetically. There's probably a way to order them by some YAML front matter attribute present in each collection doc, as well, with some extra Liquid magic
I hope this helps some people!
Can you, somehow, translate content and then pass it to a layout?
I can't seem to find how.
Hi!
Is it possible to translate collections? Right now, I have to manage 2 separates collections and I've created a tag to link the posts together. It's working but I've got to do a lot of validation to make it work and it's not reusable if wI need to use it in another project.
Thanks!
