Multilingual Demo

This is a demonstration of the multilingual feature. This post is in English, but you can switch to Chinese using the language switcher above.

How it works

1. Each post has a lang parameter in the front matter that specifies the language of the post.
2. The other_languages parameter contains a mapping of language codes to URLs of the same post in other languages.
3. The language switcher component displays links to the other language versions of the post.

Creating multilingual content

To create multilingual content, you need to:

1. Create separate files for each language version of your content.
2. Add the lang parameter to the front matter of each file.
3. Add the other_languages parameter to the front matter of each file, mapping language codes to URLs.

For example, this post has the following front matter:
