🔤 Polyglot

Polyglot is a fast, painless, open-source internationalization plugin for Jekyll blogs. Polyglot is easy to set up and use with any Jekyll project, and it scales to the languages you want to support. With fallback support for missing content, automatic url relativization, and powerful SEO tools, Polyglot allows any multi-language jekyll blog to focus on content without the cruft.

Why?

Jekyll doesn't provide native support for multi-language blogs. This plugin was modeled after the jekyll-multiple-languages-plugin, whose implementation I liked, but execution I didn't.

Installation

Add jekyll-polyglot to your Gemfile if you are using Bundler:

group :jekyll_plugins do
   gem "jekyll-polyglot"
end

Or install the gem manually by doing gem install jekyll-polyglot and specify the plugin using _config.yml:

plugins:
  - jekyll-polyglot

Configuration

In your _config.yml file, add the following preferences

languages: ["en", "sv", "de", "fr"]
default_lang: "en"
