Enhancement Keep Outdated

I propose that there should be a convenient way to crosspost a post in multiple …languages. ## An example use case On my personal site I currently write articles in English first and then I create a translated version of that in Swedish. But I am thinking about focusing more on writing only in English. But I still want my visitors that go to the swedish site to be able to see the new content even though it is only available in English. I want my visitors to be aware that there are new content on the site. Those posts/articles that do have a Swedish translation should of course show that translation on the Swedish site but for posts/articles that is available only in English I want to be able to crosspost them so they also show up on the swedish site. ## How to do this Currently we have .Pages (pages in current language) and .AllPages (all languages). One possiblity is adding an optional parameter in the frontmatter of the post. `crosspost: true` This post would then be added to the .Pages list for all languages disregarding which language it was originally written in. Another solution is to make a clever query between .Pages and .AllPages and looking for .Params.crosspost to list the "cross posts". This could be achieved without doing any changes to Hugo itself.
