Translating

In addition to the steps above there are a few addition steps required for translation.

New Language

1. Create a folder using the 2 character code (e.g. jp, en, es, etc) with lesson subfolders:

$ cd elixir_school
$ mkdir -p jp/lessons/{basics,advanced,specifics}

1. Update _config.yml by including the 2 character code in languages and adding translations to sections, description and toc:

languages: ['en', 'jp']
default_lang: en
exclude_from_localization: []
sections:
  - tag: basics
    label:
      en: Basics
      jp: 基本

description:
  en: Lessons about the Elixir programming language
  jp: プログラミング言語Elixirのレッスン

toc:
  en: Table of Contents
  jp: 目次

1. If the new language is RTL (right-to-left) it should also be added to the rtl_languages list:

Translated Lesson

1. Translated lessons must include lang: XX in the page meta data. For example /jp/lessons/basics/basics.md:

---
layout: page
title: 基本
category: basics
order: 1
lang: jp
---
