Adding a translation

  • Fork the repo

  • Make sure that you have Hugo installed:

    • On macOS: brew install hugo
    • On most Linux distros: snap install hugo
    • See here for more options
  • Create an empty markdown file called _index.<COUNTRY_CODE>.md in the content directory

  • Write your translation there. Be sure to copy the structure of the English version at index.md, including all the special codes.

  • Add an entry to config.toml with your language information under the [Languages] tag. For example, for Swedish, you would enter:

    [Languages.se]
    languageName = "Swedish"
    languageCode = "se"
    
  • Start the hugo server: hugo server -D

  • Navigate to http://localhost:1313/LANGUAGE_CODE/ and you should see your translation

  • Open a pull request

  • I will find another native speaker to look over the translation you made, and then it will be merged!
