Add static language-dependent link to template

support
1

First steps with Hugo …

I’d like to add a link to my page footer (i.e., into a template) which points to a static page within my Hugo site, depending on the language of the current page.

I’m setting up a multilanguage site (EN/DE), and in the site’s footer, I want to add a link which is called “Impressum” and points to /impressum if the language of the current page is DE, and is called “Imprint” and points to /en/imprint if the language of the current page is EN.

I’d appreciate any pointer to how I can achieve this.

Try <a href="{{ .LanguagePrefix }}/impressum">Impressum</a>.

What if the slug is also language-dependent? I currently have
/de/impressum and /en/legal-notice … My source files are called
impressum.de.md and impressum.en.md, though.

This should work:

    {{ $siteLanguages := .Site.Languages }}
    {{ $page := .Site.GetPage "/impressum" }}
    {{ $pageLang := $page.Lang }}
    {{ range $page.AllTranslations }}
      {{ $translation := . }}
      {{ range $siteLanguages }}
        {{ if eq $translation.Lang .Lang }}
          {{ if eq $pageLang .Lang }}
          <span id="address" class="post-footer-item">
            <a href="{{ $translation.URL }}" class="">{{ i18n "impressumTitle" }}</a>
          </span>
          {{ end }}
        {{ end }}
      {{ end }}
    {{ end }}
