Change node.url based on current language (Jekyll Multiple Language Plugin)

[zkvvoob]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a website based on Jekyll, a theme called Just the Docs and the Jekyll Multiple Languages Plugin. So far I've been able to make the individual pages' titles display based on the selected language. However, I now face a new challenge, namely - how to set the proper URLs to point to the /en/ subdirectory.

In nav.html I'm looking at this string

<a href="{{ node.url | absolute_url }}" class="nav-list-link{% if page.url == node.url %} active{% endif %}">{% t node.title %}</a>

Note how I've changed {{node.title}} to {% t note.title %} and I can now get the respective language's translated title.

I'm thinking something along these lines:

{% if site.lang == "bg" %}
    <a href="{{ node.url | absolute_url }}" class="nav-list-link{% if page.url == node.url %} active{% endif %}">{% t node.title %}</a>
{% elsif site.lang == "en" %}
    <a href="/en{{ node.url | absolute_url }}" class="nav-list-link{% if page.url == node.url %} active{% endif %}">{% t node.title %}</a>
{% endif %}

However, that only duplicates the whole URL after /en/, i.e. http://localhost:4000/en/http://localhost:4000/publication-title/.

So, could someone help me figure out the correct variable to use in order to accomplish something like this:

• if site.lang == "bg" then original node.url
• else siteURL/en/{pageURL}

Thank you!

What happens if you use relative_url instead of absolute_url?
