Polyglot

Abstract

1. Introduction

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.

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.

In your _config.yml file, add the following preferences These configuration preferences indicate

2. Objective

:abc: Multilingual and i18n support tool for Jekyll Blogs

This project demonstrates how Ruby can be applied to a real-world Digital Marketing & SEO problem.

3. Key Features / Modules

• automatically corrects your relative links, keeping your french visitors on your french website, even when content has to fallback to the default_lang.
• builds all versions of your website simultaneously, allowing big websites to scale efficiently.
• provides the liquid tag {{ site.languages }} to get an array of your I18n strings.
• provides the liquid tag {{ site.default_lang }} to get the default_lang I18n string.
• provides the liquid tag {{ site.active_lang }} to get the I18n language string the website was built for. Alternative names for active_lang can be configured via config.lang_vars.
• provides the liquid tag {{ page.rendered_lang }} to get the language the page content is actually rendered in (useful for detecting fallback pages).
• provides the liquid tag {{ page.available_languages }} to get the array of language codes a page has been translated into.
• provides the liquid tag {{ page.missing_languages }} to get the array of configured languages a page has not been translated into (empty when the page has no real translations and falls back identically everywhere).
• provides the liquid tag {{ I18n_Headers }} to append SEO bonuses to your website.
• provides the liquid tag {{ Unrelativized_Link href="/hello" }} to make urls that do not get influenced by url correction regexes.
