First of all, thank you very much for the theme. It is exactly what I was looking for.

I wonder if there is a way to make it better usable for non-English websites. There are a couple of hard-coded text e.g. "Latest Posts", "Next", "Previous". It would be possible to change these words directly in the files in the _includes folder. However, that would make updates difficult and require repeated work for every website.

My idea is to create YAML files containing the translated texts, en.yml for English, de.yml for German etc. The desired language would be chosen by setting a variable in _config.yml or a page's front matter. Does that sound like a good idea?

Here is a list of all texts I found:

Page	Text
_layouts/page.html	Contents
_layouts/post.html	Published DATE by
_layouts/product.html	Reviews
_layouts/product.html	Description
_includes/disqus.html	Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.
_includes/footer.html	Theme built by
_includes/header.html	Home
_includes/image-modal.html	View large image
_includes/latest-posts.html	Latest Posts
_includes/pagination.html	Previous
_includes/pagination.html	Next
_includes/post-card.html	Published: DATE
_includes/share-buttons.html	Share
_includes/sponsors.html	View Profile

This blog posts describes how to create multi-lingual sites with Jekyll: https://www.sylvaindurand.org/making-jekyll-multilingual/
That goes one step beyond my initial suggestion.

Hi @jze thanks for your help with this. I agree this is a great idea. I have been thinking about how to best implement this in the theme.
