Opposite language selection on start page /

schoettl commented 4 years ago

Thank you for this theme!

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST?: bug

What happened: I set up a multi-lingual site. English is default language. Translations works for all pages except for content/_index/.

As soon as I cp _index/index.md _index/index.de.md, the home page is empty for the default language, and in English for the German "de" version. In short:

/ is empty except for German nav/footer.
/de/ is non-empty and in English, only nav/footer is German.

It's totally the opposite, but only for the homepage?!

What you expected to happen: / should be English /de/ should be in German

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): Do you already have a guess? Otherwise I have to setup a new project to create a minimal example.

Anything else we need to know?:

Maybe languageCode plays a role? It's configured under each language.
I did rm -rf resources public
I pressed Ctrl-F5 in browser

Environment:

Syna Theme version: master branch from github 2020-05-14
Hugo version: 0.70.0
Arch Linux

EDIT: I updated the description above. The problem is the _index folder which describes the homepage / and /de/.

Interesting. This does feel like a bug and most likely comes from our theme specific code making the idea of fragments work on the index page etc.

No specific solution in my mind yet.

Does it help, if I provide a minimal example based on https://git.okkur.org/syna-start ? As a patch or a GitHub fork?

stp-ip commented 4 years ago

A minimal example showcasing the issue already helps. Based on syna start seems reasonable as it does have a lot less moving parts. You can link to a branch on your fork for this.

Thanks for helping out.

Not sure how this was happening, it might have something to do with params.DefaultContentLanguage which might not have been set. Set it to your default language. Not that we require this value in addition to Hugo's own DefaultContentLanguage (which is located in the top section of the config file).

Please check #763. Closing issue, let us know if the problem persists.
