Conversation
English stays at / and /posts/{slug}; German lives under /de/. A post
gets a German version by adding posts/<date>-<slug>.de.md next to it.
Posts without a translation are still listed and shown with the
interface of the requested language, a note saying which language the
post is in, and a canonical link to the original.
The nav gets an EN/DE switcher, pages carry hreflang links, and
make translate-post starts a translation from the original.

Before: the blog is English only.
After: there is a German version under
/de/with its own interface texts and German dates ("20. Okt. 2026"). An EN/DE switcher in the nav jumps to the same page in the other language. English URLs stay unchanged.A post gets a German version by adding
posts/<date>-<slug>.de.mdnext to the English file (make translate-post POST=<slug> LANG=decopies it to start with). Translations are optional: a post without one is still listed on the other language's front page with a smallEN/DEbadge, and opening it shows the original with a note ("Diesen Beitrag gibt es nur auf Englisch.") and a canonical link to the original URL. German-only posts work the same way in reverse (make new-post TITLE=… LANG=de).How: posts are now loaded into a
Librarykeyed by slug and language, and the routes are registered once per language from the list ini18n.go, which also holds the interface strings. Pages carryhreflangalternates andx-default. The interactive widgets (terminal, Chaos Monkey, load balancing) stay English for now.hello-worldcomes with a German translation as the first example.
