Meanwhile I would recommend you to use Hugo. Have a look at https://wolfszwinkern.com to get the latest tips about Hugo.
This code stays here for your personal reference. Enjoy :-)
This is an example using HEXO (http://hexo.io) to generate a static multilanguage site
Notice: It is just a demo and work in progress...
Until my pull requests are merged to the official HEXO repo, you have to use
my HEXO fork, with the branch multilanguage
git clone https://github.com/jkuetemeier/hexo.git
cd hexo
git checkout multilanguage
npm install
and now make it your global hexo
npm link
You can restore the official version later on with
npm install hexo -g
Install HEXO, for more informations see docs.
TODAY: Use my hexo version, see notice above.
# NO - npm install hexo -g
Clone it to your local folder (or fork it, if you intend to create expansions - pull requests are welcome).
git clone https://github.com/jkuetemeier/hexo-multilanguage-example.git example
install site requirements
cd example
npm install
Now clone the theme into the directory landscape
cd themes
git clone https://github.com/jkuetemeier/hexo-theme-landscape.git landscape
checkout the Branch multilanguage
cd landscape
git checkout multilanguage
and install dependencies
npm install
# get back to repo root directory
cd ../../
start your server
hexo server
Now you can direct your favorite browser to http://localhost:4000
Enjoy!
This describes the steps needed to get a full functional multilanguage site up and running, if you're not just cloning this repository. It gives an overview of the necessary steps for creating a site - it's not an accurate, full detailed description of any single step this repository is made of.
Install HEXO, for more informations see docs.
npm install hexo -g
create a folder my-site and step into it
mkdir my-site
hexo init
install required node packages
npm install
For this demo we use the HEXO Landscape Theme. Now, until development is finished and a pull request ist committed, we use a modified multilanguage branch of this fork.
You need to install Grunt as a requirement, if you not alread have it. See Getting startet for more informations on Grunt.
npm install -g grunt-cli
Now clone the theme into the directory landscape
cd themes
git clone https://github.com/jkuetemeier/hexo-theme-landscape.git landscape
checkout the Branch multilanguage
cd landscape
git checkout multilanguage
install the theme dependencies
npm install
grunt
Install the HEXO Multilanguage Plugin
Use the GitHub version until development is finished and npm version is released:
npm install kuetemeier/hexo-plugin-multilanguage --save
