How to Add Language?
The translations are stored in the data/search/i18n folder, it’s different from Hugo i18n, since the module using JS instead of templates to render the HTML markup.
- Fork and clone the repository.
- Copy the
data/search/i18n/en.tomland naming it with language code, i.e.fr.toml,ru.toml. - Translate the items.
- Create a pull request.
Customize I18n Translations
Let’s take the input_placeholder as an example, just create the corresponding translations file under your project’s root.
1# data/search/i18n/en.toml
2[input_placeholder]
3other = "SEARCH INPUT PLACEHOLDER"
Now, the input_placeholder will be SEARCH INPUT PLACEHOLDER in en sites.
All the available translations’ keys can be found at data/search/i18n folder.
