Add multilingual support in Hugo

Implements: * support to render: * content/post/whatever.en.md to /en/2015/12/22/whatever/index.html * content/post/whatever.fr.md to /fr/2015/12/22/whatever/index.html * gets enabled when `Multilingual:` is specified in config. * support having language switchers in templates, that know where the translated page is (with .Page.Translations) (when you're on /en/about/, you can have a "Francais" link pointing to /fr/a-propos/) * all translations are in the `.Page.Translations` map, including the current one. * easily tweak themes to support Multilingual mode * renders in a single swift, no need for two config files. Adds a couple of variables useful for multilingual sites Adds documentation (content/multilingual.md) Added language prefixing for all URL generation/permalinking see in the code base. Implements i18n. Leverages the great github.com/nicksnyder/go-i18n lib.. thanks Nick. * Adds "i18n" and "T" template functions..

+title: Multilingual Mode
+weight: 68
+toc: true
+---
+
+Since version 0.17, Hugo supports a native Multilingual mode. In your
+top-level `config.yaml` (or equivalent), you define the available
+languages in a `Multilingual` section such as:
+
+```
+Multilingual:
+  en:
+    weight: 1
+    title: "My blog"
+    params:
+      linkedin: "english-link"
+  fr:
+    weight: 2
+
+    title: "Mon blog"
+    params:
+      linkedin: "lien-francais"
+    copyright: "Tout est miens"
+
+copyright: "Everything is mine"
+```
+
+Anything not defined in a `[lang]:` block will fall back to the global
+value for that key (like `copyright` for the `en` lang in this
+example).
+
+With the config above, all content, sitemap, RSS feeds, paginations
+and taxonomy pages will be rendered under `/en` in English, and under
+`/fr` in French.
+
+Only those keys are read under `Multilingual`: `weight`, `title`,
+`author`, `social`, `languageCode`, `copyright`, `disqusShortname`,
+`params` (which can contain a map of several other keys).
+
+
+### Translating your content
+
+Translated articles are picked up by the name of the content files.
+
+Example of translated articles:
+
+1. `/content/about.en.md`
+2. `/content/about.fr.md`
+
+You can also have:
+
+1. `/content/about.md`
+2. `/content/about.fr.md`
+
+in which case the config variable `DefaultContentLanguage` will be
+used to affect the default language `about.md`.  This way, you can
+slowly start to translate your current content without having to
+rename everything.
+
+If left unspecified, the value for `DefaultContentLanguage` defaults
+to `en`.
+
+By having the same _base file name_, the content pieces are linked
+together as translated pieces. Only the content pieces in the language
+defined by **.Site.CurrentLanguage** will be rendered in a run of
+`hugo`.  The translated content will be available in the
+`.Page.Translations` so you can create links to the corresponding
+translated pieces.
+
+
+### Language switching links
+
+Here is a simple example if all your pages are translated:
+
+```
+{{if .IsPage}}
+  {{ range $txLang := .Site.Languages }}
+    {{if isset $.Translations $txLang}}
+      <a href="{{ (index $.Translations $txLang).Permalink }}">{{ i18n ( printf "language_switcher_%s" $txLang ) }}</a>
+    {{end}}
+  {{end}}
+{{end}}
+
+{{if .IsNode}}
+  {{ range $txLang := .Site.Languages }}
+    <a href="/{{$txLang}}">{{ i18n ( printf "language_switcher_%s" $txLang ) }}</a>
+  {{end}}
+{{end}}
+```
+
+This is a more complete example. It handles missing translations and will support non-multilingual sites. Better for theme authors:
+
+```
+{{if .Site.Multilingual}}
+  {{if .IsPage}}
+    {{ range $txLang := .Site.Languages }}
+      {{if isset $.Translations $txLang}}
+        <a href="{{ (index $.Translations $txLang).Permalink }}">{{ i18n ( printf "language_switcher_%s" $txLang ) }}</a>
+      {{else}}
+        <a href="/{{$txLang}}">{{ i18n ( printf "language_switcher_%s" $txLang ) }}</a>
+      {{end}}
+    {{end}}
+  {{end}}
+
+  {{if .IsNode}}
+    {{ range $txLang := .Site.Languages }}
+      <a href="/{{$txLang}}">{{ i18n ( printf "language_switcher_%s" $txLang ) }}</a>
+    {{end}}
+  {{end}}
+{{end}}
+```
+
+This makes use of the **.Site.Languages** variable to create links to
+the other available languages.  The order in which the languages are
+listed is defined by the `weight` attribute in each language under
+`Multilingual`.
+
+This will also require you to have some content in your `i18n/` files
+(see below) that would look like:
+
+```
+- id: language_switcher_en
+  translation: "English"
+- id: language_switcher_fr
+  translation: "Français"
+```
+
+and a copy of this in translations for each language.
+
+As you might notice, node pages link to the root of the other
+available translations (`/en`), as those pages do not necessarily have
+a translated counterpart.
+
+Taxonomies (tags, categories) are completely segregated between
+translations and will have their own tag clouds and list views.
+
+
+### Translation of strings
+
+Hugo uses [go-i18n](https://github.com/nicksnyder/go-i18n) to support
+string translations.  Follow the link to find tools to manage your
+translation workflows.
+
+Translations are collected from the `themes/[name]/i18n/` folder
+(built into the theme), as well as translations present in `i18n/` at
+the root of your project.  In the `i18n`, the translations will be
+merged and take precedence over what is in the theme folder.  Files in
+there follow RFC 5646 and should be named something like `en-US.yaml`,
+`fr.yaml`, etc..
+
+From within your templates, use the `i18n` function as such:
+
+```
+{{ i18n "home" }}
+```
+
+to use a definition like this one in `i18n/en-US.yaml`:
+
+```
+- id: home
+  translation: "Home"
+```
+
+
+### Multilingual Themes support
+
+To support Multilingual mode in your themes, you only need to make
+sure URLs defined manually (those not using `.Permalink` or `.URL`
+variables) in your templates are prefixed with `{{
+.Site.LanguagePrefix }}`. If `Multilingual` mode is enabled, the
+`LanguagePrefix` variable will equal `"/en"` (or whatever your
+`CurrentLanguage` is). If not enabled, it will be an empty string, so
+it is harmless for non-multilingual sites.
+
+
+### Multilingual index.html and 404.html
+
+To redirect your users to their closest language, drop an `index.html`
+in `/static` of your site, with the following content (tailored to
+your needs) to redirect based on their browser's language:
+
+```
+<html><head>
+<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=/en" /><!-- just in case JS doesn't work -->
+<script>
+lang = window.navigator.language.substr(0, 2);
+if (lang == "fr") {
+    window.location = "/fr";
+} else {
+    window.location = "/en";
+}
+
+/* or simply:
+window.location = "/en";
+*/
+</script></head><body></body></html>
+```
+
+An even simpler version will always redirect your users to a given language:
+
+```
+<html><head>
+<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/en" />
+</head><body></body></html>
+```
+
+You can do something similar with your `404.html` page, as you don't
+know the language of someone arriving at a non-existing page.  You
+could inspect the prefix of the navigator path in Javascript or use
+the browser's language detection like above.
+
+
+### Sitemaps
+
+As sitemaps are generated once per language and live in
+`[lang]/sitemap.xml`. Write this content in `static/sitemap.xml` to
+link all your sitemaps together:
+
+```
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
+   <sitemap>
+      <loc>https://example.com/en/sitemap.xml</loc>
+   </sitemap>
+   <sitemap>
+      <loc>https://example.com/fr/sitemap.xml</loc>
+   </sitemap>
+</sitemapindex>
+```
+
+and explicitly list all the languages you want referenced.
