Hextra supports creating site with multiple languages using Hugo's [multilingual mode](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/).

## Enable Multi-language
|
|
|
|
To make our site multi-language, we need to tell Hugo the supported languages. We need to add to the site configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
|
|
defaultContentLanguage: en
|
|
languages:
|
|
en:
|
|
languageName: English
|
|
weight: 1
|
|
fr:
|
|
languageName: Français
|
|
weight: 2
|
|
ja:
|
|
languageName: 日本語
|
|
weight: 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Manage Translations by Filename
|
|
|
|
Hugo supports managing translations by filename. For example, if we have a file `content/docs/_index.md` in English, we can create a file `content/docs/_index.fr.md` for French translation.
|
|
|
|
{{< filetree/container >}}
|
|
{{< filetree/folder name="content" >}}
|
|
{{< filetree/folder name="docs" state="open" >}}
|
|
{{< filetree/file name="_index.md" >}}
|
|
{{< filetree/file name="_index.fr.md" >}}
|
|
{{< filetree/file name="_index.ja.md" >}}
|
|
{{< /filetree/folder >}}
|
|
{{< /filetree/folder >}}
|
|
{{< /filetree/container >}}
|
|
|
|
Note: Hugo also supports [Translation by content directory](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/#translation-by-content-directory).
|

|
## Translate Menu Items
|
|
|
|
To translate menu items in the navigation bar, we need to set the `identifier` field:
|
|
|
|
```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
|
|
menu:
|
|
main:
|
|
- identifier: documentation
|
|
name: Documentation
|
|
pageRef: /docs
|
|
weight: 1
|
|
- identifier: blog
|
|
name: Blog
|
|
pageRef: /blog
|
|
weight: 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and translate them in the corresponding i18n file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml {filename="i18n/fr.yaml"}
|
|
documentation: Documentation
|
|
blog: Blog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Translate Strings
|
|
|
|
To translate strings on the other places, we need to add the translation to the corresponding i18n file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml {filename="i18n/fr.yaml"}
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A list of strings used in the theme can be found in the `i18n/en.yaml` file.
