Hi there! I’m new to zola, and I’m messing around with it trying to set up a multi-language blog. I’m trying to make multiple versions of my templates for the different languages, but I can’t seem to do that. I’d like to have `index.html` and `index.jp.html` and have the first one displayed on `{BASE_URL}/` and the second one displayed on `{BASE_URL}/jp`. I tried to do this but it didn’t work and just directed everything to `index.html`.

Is this possible? If not, I think it could be a good feature to add.

It’s not possible currently. There should be a version dedicated to multi languages but that’s for the far future

Okay, no worries. I found an easy workaround anyway, which is to just make an empty `index.jp.md` which uses `index.jp.html` as its template. That works for me for now 👍
