Use minicms

Same page in different languages accessed via the same URL. If page doesn't exist in requested locale default language is used.

Minicms uses 'minicms/default.html' template, passing current page in page context variable.

Page attributes you can use in template:

• lang - page language. Usually same as LANGUAGE_CODE context variable (see above)

• slug - page slug. All translations of the same page should have the same slug. You can organize pages into some kind of hierarchy with slashes, eg:

  installation
      installation/requirements
      installation/steps
          installation/steps/1
          installation/steps/2
          installation/steps/3
  pricing
      pricing/free-plan
  

• name - localized page name. It will appear as a text under link in menu and breadcrumbs

• title - title of a page, intended for use in HTML title

• keywords - page keywords intended for use in HTML meta keywords (for SEO)

• description - same as keywords but description

• markdown - raw markdown content

• markdown.html - markdown converted to html

There are also minicms_breadcrumbs and minicms_menu template tags available in minicms_tags tag library. You can override their appearance in templates minicms/tags/menu and minicms/tags/breadcrumbs. See example templates for details.

By default, all unallowed symbols (HTML tags) will be stripped. To avoid this, set MINICMS_SANITIZE setting to False.
