Multilingual, one layout

Every publication exists in each of the site's languages, with its own words and its own address.

A multilingual site is not several sites. In Aurora a publication carries its languages inside it: one tab per language, the same arrangement, different words.

What follows the language

  • The title, the summary, the text of every zone, the captions.
  • The address of the page, per language.
  • Search settings: meta title and description, focus keyword, indexing.
  • Menu entries, categories, tags, and any field marked "per language".

What does not follow the language is the layout: it is written once. Translating a page does not mean rebuilding it, and hreflang tags are emitted on their own.
