I just added a multi-language support feature on the site.

Below is a proof of work showing my username encircled in red and my number of corrections and deletions made in 5 different commits. All changes were committed directly to master.

If you noticed, most html templates come without multilingual support. They are literally locked to a single language. So what happens when a business or individual needs to cater for a global audience or customer base.

So what I did was add a Multilingual Support for this template.

Now, every word on the site is processed by a language processing file that leads it to an language folder where each words are imported into site .

These are gif animations explaining my contribution

Language Processing

This is the language processing file. This detects the preferred language of the user which is store on the cookie on the browser to avoid swicthing between languages.

Language Translation

Here is a structure of the english translation containing some "lorem ipsum" codes so that the users of the scripts can easily edit. All words in the scripts have replaced here in the $lang array

This is show how other languages will be written as they are all kept in the "lang/" I created. Meaning translation contributions can now be added easily.

Words Replaced With Language Array Elements

The Gif below shows that I had to edit all files to replace each words with the language array element.

The new language files are here.

In conclusion, the template now has a multilingual supports with a cookie detection ability to check the language.
