How about this: interface itself would be generated via sinatra-r18n (i18n) and each hike would have a "language" property. When viewing the site in language X, that language hikes would show in search and discover.

That sounds like the right behavior to me when hike.io gets more content (although implementation wise would probably use Angular - https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/i18n)

Currently though, there are only a couple of hikes written in anything other than English. So switching to another language would be completely devoid of content.

I didn't know Angular could i18n. Great!

Just a thought to add: I hike in Japan. Many signs on trails are in Japanese, often pretty complex characters with uncommon pronunciation that even locals can't read. If I see a hike guide in English, I still need the Japanese spelling to find my way, if only to visually recognize them on a sign.

I have some GPX I want to upload, will put Japanese names together with romanized in the text.
