Translate a Hugo post

Description

This translates the Markdown content including the "alt", "caption", "title" fields of shortcodes.

If it translates the title, it will update the slug.

This assumes the Hugo website uses

  • YAML metadata at the top of posts;

  • leaf bundles (each post in a folder, leaf-bundle/index.md);

  • multilingualism so that a post in say Spanish lives in leaf-bundle/index.es.md.

Usage

deepl_translate_hugo(
  post_path = NULL,
  force = FALSE,
  yaml_fields = c("title", "description"),
  glossary_name = NULL,
  source_lang = NULL,
  target_lang = NULL,
  formality = c("default", "more", "less", "prefer_more", "prefer_less")
)

Arguments

post_path

Path to post. If RStudio IDE is installed, it will default to the currently open document. If you use Quarto or R Markdown for Hugo, translate the source file (qmd or Rmd) and then render it to Markdown.

force

Whether to overwrite the post in the target language.

yaml_fields

Vector of character names of YAML fields to translate.

glossary_name

Name of the glossary to be used, if any (character).

source_lang

Name or code of source language. See DeepL docs.

target_lang

Name or code of source language. See DeepL docs.

formality

Formality level to use (character), one of

  • "default" (default)

  • "less" – for a more informal language

  • "prefer_more" – for a more formal language if available, otherwise fallback to default formality

  • "prefer_less" – for a more informal language if available, otherwise fallback to default formality

Value

None

Examples

dir <- withr::local_tempdir()
blogdown::new_site(dir = dir)
deepl_translate_hugo(
  file.path(dir, "content", "post", "2016-12-30-hello-markdown", "index.md"),
  source_lang = "en",
  target_lang = "fr",
  formality = "less"
