Localized Overview index page

[eed3si9n]

Hi

I've been translating/porting a bunch of overview docs into Japanese lately. I figured it'd be nice to have a nice landing page for them so decided to localize the index page. See:

changes

overview: xyz entry was added YAML frontmatter to link the English originals to the translations. For example:

overview: string-interpolation 

On the translated side, we just need to add the same entry. I also changed guides-index so the flags show up on the unused right-hand side span6. This is controlled by languages: ja on English index.md.

adding more languages

I've refactored the index page generation logic into localized-overview-index.txt so with minimal change Spanish index page should also be generated (@migue):

1. Create index.md following the Japanese sample.
2. Add es to languages: ja in English index.md.

This seems great, we'd be happy to have it. However I'm having a bit of difficulty building it locally, by just running:

jekyll --server 

Not sure what the issue is right this moment, looking into it...

[heathermiller]

Problem solved- nevermind the concern.

This looks great! Thanks a lot for putting this together. Let me first poke around a bit and make a couple of tweaks, and then I'll pull it right in.

Thanks again.

[eed3si9n]

poke.

[heathermiller]

Thanks for the nudge. :)

Thanks for getting this in. I see that Collections library translation got deployed, but not the Overviews landing page.

Thanks for your message. I'm most certainly aware of this.

I'm currently in the process of debugging. Your patch has a few issues (both layout and functionality-- e.g. you can no longer toggle to any other language, Japanese, Spanish, etc, from overview pages. It works only for overview-large pages. So other languages are currently, in effect, inaccessible)

And, as usual, github is having issues generating the site, which is why it's currently not live. It will be live when I commit some fixes.

The overview layout has been using overview attribute to correlate languages attribute:

{% for pg in site.pages %}{% if pg.overview == page.overview and pg.languages %}{% assign languages = pg.languages %}{% endif %}{% endfor %} 

But until this pull request overview posts like Futures writeup didn't actually contain overview attributes.

[eed3si9n]

ok. I think I figured it out. It's a combo bug.

1. I didn't put languages attributes on overview posts.
2. overview layout is looping around site.pages, but the core writeups are actually in site.posts.

Adding languages attributes and the following change to the layout fixes it for me locally:

{% for pg in site.posts %}{% if pg.overview == page.overview and pg.languages %}{% assign languages = pg.languages %}{% endif %}{% endfor %}{% for pg in site.pages %}{% if pg.overview == page.overview and pg.languages %}{% assign languages = pg.languages %}{% endif %}{% endfor %} 

Should I send this as a pull req?
