docusaurus won't pick up my translated markdown files

My docusaurus project structure:

website
|--docs
|----homepage.md
|--i18n/de/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current
|----homepage.md

When I use the language switch I get directed to http://localhost:3000/website/de/docs/homepage/ but I get a "Page not found" error the page. Also when I click on german in the language switch again it will just append another "de" to the url, so the url will then look like .../website/de/de/docs/...

Am I doing something wrong here or is this a docusaurus issue?

Solution

  • You should start your localized site in dev mode, using the locale of your choice by:

    npm run start -- --locale de

    This is because:

    Each locale is a distinct standalone single-page application: it is not possible to start the Docusaurus sites in all locales at the same time.
