Multilingual Support

How can I make my website multilingual? Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Quick notes, here is my setup for a website based on Papermod available both in french and english.

Note that

• French is the default language here,
• I use translation by filename
• my config is split in multiple files for clarity

So,

in config/_default/config.yml

DefaultContentLanguage: "fr"
defaultContentLanguageInSubdir: false

in config/_default/languages.yml

  en:
      languageName: "English"
      weight: 2
      taxonomies:
        tag: tags
        series: series
      menu:
        main:
          - identifier: search
            name: Search
            url: search/
            weight: 10
          - identifier: contact
            name: Contact
            url: /contact/
            weight: 20
          - identifier: tags
            name: Tags
            url: /tags/
            weight: 30


  fr:
      languageName: "Français"
      languageAltTitle: French
      taxonomies:
        tag: tags
        series: series
      weight: 1

Hi, in your example how do I include things like params:

If I use params.yml, do I have to populate it separately for each language ?

DefaultContentLanguage: "fr"
defaultContentLanguageInSubdir: false

Thank you, I needed this line.
