Multilingual .Params not showing (or randomly ?)

Hi !

I’m pretty new on HUGO, but I’ve been developping my new portfolio on it, and while I managed to make an english version of it, I would like to make it multilingual and avaliable both in french and english.

Here is the problem. I’m using “config.toml” to put all the important translations (such as section names and copyright info) on my index page, but it doesn’t show up.

EDIT : Here is the repo of the project : https://github.com/ZeAntwan/SarrazinPortfolio

Here is my config.toml file

title = "Antoine SARRAZIN - Young/Geek/Stuffmaker"
theme = "portfolio"
baseURL = "http://dev.antoinesarrazin.com/"
DefaultContentLanguage = "en"

name = "Antoine SARRAZIN"
subtitle = "Young/Geek/Stuffmaker"
copyright = "Coded with <i class='fa fa-heart'></i> and Powered by HUGO"

[Languages]
[Languages.en]
[Languages.en.params]
copyright = "Coded with <i class='fa fa-heart'></i> and Powered by HUGO"
linkedin = "https://en-link"
resume = "Resume.pdf"

[Languages.fr]
[Languages.fr.params]
linkedin = "http://lien-francais"
copyright = "Codé avec <i class='fa fa-heart'></i> et Propulsé par HUGO"

For exemple, I’m calling the “copyright” parameters : {{ .Site.Params.copyright | safeHTML }}
And, because of the safeHTML, HUGO says that “.Site.Params.copyright” has 0 arguments.

The name and subtitle doesn’t show up on either versions of the website…
I’m trying to put the project on GitHub to let you check the files, but if you have any advices, solutions or question, that would be great !

Thanks :slightly_smiling:

You need to put the params below a params section.

Did it,
(Changed a few values in the meantime)

But now, language specifics variable aren’t shown

Here is the file

title = "Antoine SARRAZIN - Young/Geek/Stuffmaker"
theme = "portfolio"
baseURL = “http://dev.antoinesarrazin.com/”

DefaultContentLanguage = “en”

[params]
#Header
name = "Antoine SARRAZIN"
subtitle = "Young/Geek/Stuffmaker"
reel = ""

[Languages]
[Languages.en]
# About
prez = "Hi ! My name's Antoine"
subprez = "And i like to make"
stuff = ["films", "stories", "games", "interactive experiences"]
description = "<p>Stuff</p>"

# Links
linkedin = "https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoinesarrazin/?locale=en_US"
resume = "AntoineSarrazin_Resume.pdf"

# Footer
legal = "Legal"
copyright = "Coded with <i class='fa fa-heart'></i> and Powered by HUGO"

[Languages.en.params.navigation]
about = "About"work = "Work"

[Languages.en.params.portfolio]
all = "All"
games = "Games"
video = "Video"
code = "Code"
other = "Other"

[Languages.fr]
[Languages.fr.params]
linkedin = "http://lien-francais"
copyright = "Codé avec <i class='fa fa-heart'></i> et Propulsé par HUGO"

Wait… I think, only the ones after the first declaration of “copyright” aren’t shown on both version. Which correspond to this. Any ideas ? Is “copyright” an already used value or something ?

[Languages.en.params.navigation]
about = "About"work = "Work"

[Languages.en.params.portfolio]
all = "All"
games = "Games"
video = "Video"
code = "Code"
other = "Other"

[Languages.fr]
[Languages.fr.params]
linkedin = "http://lien-francais"
copyright = "Codé avec <i class='fa fa-heart'></i> et Propulsé par HUGO"

EDIT :
Here is the “index.html” file https://gist.github.com/ZeAntwan/3199b0756f9beb8452b4e9ff3bdcfb79
And here is the config file : https://gist.github.com/ZeAntwan/d2f63af70864260fb9f4d82cb64bb03b

Provide a link to a full failing Hugo project if you want someone to help you.

Just did it… Sorry… Not a longtime user of github ^^’

ZeAntwan, did you manage to correct this behavior ?

I am getting the same problem. In a multilingual site, the normal [params] is not taking into account. Only specific language params are.

I don’t know if I found the right way of doing it, but you can check my configuration file on GitHub : https://github.com/ZeAntwan/SarrazinPortfolio/blob/master/config.toml

I don’t have a computer at hand, but when I can, I will try to go in detail

Thanks, I’ll see that tonight and will make some tests.

Edit: Still not working for me. Only the params in each languages works.
