 # Multilingual Support Design
 ## Context
 The site needs to support both German and English content with seamless language switching. Hugo provides built-in multilingual support that we'll leverage. The current content is in German only, stored directly in `/content/`.
 ## Goals / Non-Goals
 ### Goals
 - Support German (de) and English (en) languages
 - Automatic browser language detection for first-time visitors
 - Persistent language preference via URL structure
 - Language switcher that maintains page context (e.g., `/de/cv` ↔ `/en/cv`)
 - All existing content translated to English
 - Clean URL structure using language codes as path prefixes
 ### Non-Goals
 - Translation management system or CMS integration
 - More than 2 languages at this stage
 - Client-side JavaScript for language switching (Hugo server-side only)
 - Automated translation (manual translation required)
 ## Decisions
 ### Decision 1: Hugo Multilingual Mode
 **Approach**: Use Hugo's built-in multilingual mode with language code prefixes in URLs
 **Rationale**:
 - Hugo natively supports multilingual sites with `defaultContentLanguage` and `[languages]` config
 - URL structure `/de/` and `/en/` clearly indicates language and persists preference
 - No cookies or JavaScript needed for language persistence
 - SEO-friendly with proper `hreflang` tags
 **Alternatives Considered**:
 - Subdomain approach (de.markusgraf.ch, en.markusgraf.ch): Rejected due to complexity and DNS configuration
 - Client-side JavaScript switching: Rejected to keep site static and performant
 ### Decision 2: Content Organization
 **Approach**: Reorganize content into language-specific directories `/content/de/` and `/content/en/`
 **Structure**:
 ```
 content/
 ├── de/
 │   ├── _index.md
 │   └── cv.md
 └── en/
    ├── _index.md
    └── cv.md
 ```
 **Rationale**:
 - Clear separation of language-specific content
 - Hugo automatically links translations when file paths match
 - Easy to maintain and scale
 ### Decision 3: Language Switcher Implementation
 **Approach**: Add language switcher in navigation partial using Hugo's `.Translations` function
 **Implementation**:
 - Display language switcher as links (e.g., "DE | EN")
 - Active language styled differently
 - Maintains current page context when switching
 - Falls back to home page if translation doesn't exist
 **Rationale**:
 - Simple, no JavaScript required
 - Hugo provides `.Translations` to find corresponding pages
 - Consistent with existing navigation patterns
 ### Decision 4: Default Language
 **Approach**: German (de) as default with English (en) as secondary
 **Configuration**:
 ```toml
 defaultContentLanguage = "de"
 defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = true
 ```
 **Rationale**:
 - Existing content is in German
 - Primary audience is German-speaking
 - `defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = true` ensures consistent URLs (`/de/` for German, not just `/`)
 ### Decision 5: Browser Language Detection
 **Approach**: Hugo serves content based on URL path; Apache/Nginx handles initial redirect based on `Accept-Language` header
 **Rationale**:
 - Hugo is a static site generator and cannot detect browser language at runtime
 - Server-side redirect is the cleanest approach
 - Falls back to default language (German) if header not present
 - Once user navigates, URL path maintains their choice
 **Migration Path**:
 1. Configure multilingual mode in hugo.toml
 2. Reorganize existing content to `/content/de/`
 3. Create English translations in `/content/en/`
 4. Update templates with language switcher
 5. Configure server redirect rules (optional, for initial visit only)
 ## Risks / Trade-offs
 ### Risk 1: Breaking Change in Content Structure
 **Risk**: Moving content files breaks existing local references and workflows
 **Mitigation**:
 - Clear documentation of new structure
 - All content moved in single commit
 - Update paths in OpenSpec documentation
 ### Risk 2: Translation Maintenance
 **Risk**: Keeping German and English content in sync over time
 **Mitigation**:
 - Document translation process
 - Consider adding translation status tracking in future
 - For now, manual process with clear ownership
 ### Risk 3: SEO Impact
 **Risk**: URL structure changes may affect search rankings
 **Mitigation**:
 - Implement proper `hreflang` tags (Hugo does this automatically)
 - Add redirects from old URLs to new German URLs
 - Submit new sitemap to search engines
 ## Migration Plan
 ### Phase 1: Configure Hugo (No Breaking Changes Yet)
 1. Update hugo.toml with multilingual configuration
 2. Test configuration with existing content structure
 ### Phase 2: Restructure Content
 1. Move existing content to `/content/de/`
 2. Update any internal references
 3. Build and verify German site works at `/de/`
 ### Phase 3: Add English Content
 1. Create `/content/en/` directory
 2. Translate home page content
 3. Translate CV page content
 4. Translate navigation and UI strings
 ### Phase 4: Update Templates
 1. Add language switcher to navigation
 2. Update partials for multilingual strings
 3. Test language switching functionality
 ### Phase 5: Server Configuration (Optional)
 1. Add .htaccess or nginx rules for browser language detection
 2. Redirect root `/` to `/de/` or `/en/` based on Accept-Language header
 ## Open Questions
 **Q: Should the root URL `/` redirect to a language version, or show a language selection page?**
 A: Redirect to `/de/` as default, optionally detect browser language. No standalone language selection page needed.
 **Q: How should we handle the menu configuration for different languages?**
 A: Hugo supports language-specific menus using `[[languages.de.menu.main]]` and `[[languages.en.menu.main]]` in hugo.toml.
 **Q: Should we translate the project descriptions on the home page?**
 A: Yes, translate all visible content including project descriptions.
 ## Implementation Bugs and Solutions
 During implementation, several critical bugs were discovered and fixed. These are documented here to avoid future pitfalls.
 ### Bug 1: Language Switcher Showing Current Language
 **Problem**: The language switcher initially showed a dropdown with the current language as the toggle button (e.g., showing "Deutsch" when on German pages). This was confusing because users couldn't easily see which language to switch to.
 **Solution**: Simplified the language switcher to only show the alternative language as a direct link. Removed the dropdown pattern and changed from:
 ```html
 <li class="nav-item dropdown">
  <a class="dropdown-toggle">{{ .Language.LanguageName }}</a>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu">...</ul>
 </li>
 ```
 To:
 ```html
 {{ if .IsTranslated }}
  {{ range .Translations }}
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .Language.LanguageName }}</a>
    </li>
  {{ end }}
 {{ end }}
 ```
 **Lesson**: For a two-language site, showing only the alternative language is clearer than a dropdown showing the current language.
 ### Bug 2: Language Switcher Not Maintaining Page Context
 **Problem**: When switching languages from `/de/cv/` to English, it would redirect to `/en/` (home) instead of `/en/cv/` (maintaining the CV page context).
 **Solution**: Added `translationKey` to the frontmatter of both language versions of each content file to explicitly link them as translations:
 ```yaml
 ---
 title: "Curriculum Vitae"
 translationKey: "cv"
 ---
 ```
 This allows Hugo's `.IsTranslated` and `.Translations` functions to correctly find corresponding pages.
 **Lesson**: Hugo doesn't automatically recognize translations by filename alone when using language subdirectories. Always add `translationKey` to explicitly link translated pages.
 ### Bug 3: CV Pages Rendering with Wrong Language Context
 **Problem**: The most critical bug - CV pages would render with the wrong language:
 - `/en/cv/` would show `lang="de"`, German menu ("Lebenslauf"), and German language context
 - Both German and English CV pages would show incorrect language switcher labels
 **Root Cause**: Using language subdirectories (`content/de/cv.md` and `content/en/cv.md`) caused Hugo to incorrectly resolve the language context for these pages, even though `hugo list all` showed them with the correct language tags.
 **Solution**: Reorganized content files to use Hugo's language suffix naming convention instead of subdirectories:
 - Changed from: `content/de/cv.md` and `content/en/cv.md`
 - Changed to: `content/cv.de.md` and `content/cv.en.md`
 After this change, all pages rendered with the correct language context.
 **Lesson**: With Hugo's multilingual mode and `defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = true`, use the `.{lang}.md` suffix pattern (e.g., `filename.de.md`, `filename.en.md`) rather than language subdirectories (`de/filename.md`, `en/filename.md`). The subdirectory approach can cause template rendering issues where the wrong language context is used.
 ### Bug 4: Home and Navbar Brand Not Respecting Language
 **Problem**: Clicking the "Home" link or navbar brand from `/en/cv/` would always redirect to `/` (German home) instead of `/en/` (English home), breaking language persistence.
 **Root Cause**: Both links used `{{ .Site.BaseURL }}` which always points to the absolute root URL without language awareness.
 **Solution**: Changed both to use Hugo's `relLangURL` function:
 ```html
 <!-- Before -->
 <a href="{{ .Site.BaseURL }}">Home</a>
 <!-- After -->
 <a href="{{ "/" | relLangURL }}">Home</a>
 ```
 This makes the links language-aware, so:
 - On German pages: `{{ "/" | relLangURL }}` → `/de/`
 - On English pages: `{{ "/" | relLangURL }}` → `/en/`
 **Lesson**: Never use `{{ .Site.BaseURL }}` for internal navigation in multilingual sites. Always use `relLangURL` or `absLangURL` to maintain language context.
 ### Bug 5: Menu URLs Not Language-Aware
 **Problem**: The German "Lebenslauf" menu link pointed to `/cv/` which resulted in a 404 error because with `defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = true`, German pages are at `/de/cv/`, not `/cv/`.
 **Root Cause**: Menu URLs in `hugo.toml` were hardcoded:
 ```toml
 [[languages.de.menu.main]]
  url = '/cv/'  # Wrong - page doesn't exist here
 ```
 **Solution**: Updated menu URLs to include the language prefix:
 ```toml
 [[languages.de.menu.main]]
  name = 'Lebenslauf'
  url = '/de/cv/'  # Correct
  weight = 10
 [[languages.en.menu.main]]
  name = 'Curriculum Vitae'
  url = '/en/cv/'  # Correct
  weight = 10
 ```
 **Lesson**: When `defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = true`, even the default language requires the language prefix in all URLs. Don't assume the default language is accessible at the root paths.
 ## Best Practices Derived from Bugs
 1. **Content Organization**: Use `filename.{lang}.md` pattern instead of `{lang}/filename.md` subdirectories to avoid template context issues.
 2. **Translation Linking**: Always add `translationKey` to frontmatter for explicit translation relationships.
 3. **URL Generation**: Use Hugo's language-aware functions:
   - `relLangURL` for relative URLs
   - `absLangURL` for absolute URLs
   - `.RelPermalink` for page permalinks
   - Never use `{{ .Site.BaseURL }}` for internal links
 4. **Menu Configuration**: When `defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = true`, all menu URLs must include the language prefix, even for the default language.
 5. **Testing**: Always test all pages in all languages, not just home pages. CV/subpages may render with different template contexts than home pages.

 # Add Multilingual Support (German/English)
 ## Why
 The website is currently German-only, limiting accessibility for international visitors. Adding English language support will make the site more accessible to a global audience of HR professionals, recruiters, and potential collaborators who may not speak German.
 ## What Changes
 - Configure Hugo's multilingual mode with German (de) as default and English (en) as secondary language
 - Restructure content directory to support language-specific content (`content/de/` and `content/en/`)
 - Translate all existing German content to English (home page, CV page, navigation, footer)
 - Add language switcher UI component in navigation that maintains current page context
 - Implement browser language detection to automatically select appropriate language for new visitors
 - Preserve language preference across page navigation using URL-based language routing (`/de/` and `/en/` paths)
 - Update templates to support language-specific strings and navigation
 ## Impact
 - Affected specs: `internationalization` (new capability)
 - Affected code:
  - `/hugo.toml` (multilingual configuration)
  - `/content/` directory structure (reorganize to language-specific subdirectories)
  - `/layouts/partials/nav.html` (add language switcher)
  - `/layouts/partials/header.html` (update if needed)
  - All content files (duplicate and translate to English)
 - User-facing: Language switcher in navigation, English version of all content, automatic language detection
 - **BREAKING**: Content file paths change from `/content/*.md` to `/content/{de,en}/*.md`

 #### Scenario: Language switcher handles missing translations
 - **WHEN** a visitor is on a page without a translation
 - **THEN** the language link points to the home page of the target language
 - **AND** the user is not left on a broken or non-existent page
 ### Requirement: Language Persistence
 The site SHALL maintain the user's language preference through URL-based routing without requiring cookies or JavaScript.
 #### Scenario: Language preference persists across navigation
