I’m guessing I’ll have to transfer everything to shortcodes and include it in \_index.md file in the content folder? Also, I would need to set some custom params like description, subtitle etc. and access them in shortcodes? Then translate every parameter in every language I want?

Please correct me if I’m wrong anywhere.

Sorry, That’s a private repo of my company, I can’t. I got an explanation on Reddit that I can’t have everything hardcoded in HTML in partials, so I have to create params in .md files and access them in partials.
