Hugo-blox content i18n with Decap

[majdal]

Hi everyone – I'm trying to configure Decap to give me the i18n support that it promises.

The i18n section of the Decap docs seems to be missing something. Mainly, I'm having trouble reconciling the directory structure that Decap expects with the one that Hugoblox expects. There are 3 options available for translating content using Decap:

  # Required and can be one of multiple_folders, multiple_files or single_file
  # multiple_folders - persists files in `<folder>/<locale>/<slug>.<extension>`
  # multiple_files - persists files in `<folder>/<slug>.<locale>.<extension>`
  # single_file - persists a single file in `<folder>/<slug>.<extension>`

All of these seem to be inconsistent with what Hugoblox expects, which is <content>/<locale>/<content type>. I have tried so many different approaches, but I can't get the translation/multilingual interface to appear.

The extensions part of my params.yaml file is below. It is almost identical to the one suggested by Decap docs.

I appreciate any help, as I have spent waaaay to much time trying different configurations, with no success. I really like hugoblox, but if I cannot get it to work with i18n, I won't be able to use it at all.

extensions:
  decap_cms:
    local_backend: true

    branch: main
    i18n:

      default_locale: ar

    collections:
      - name: projects
        label: Projects
        folder: content/en/project
        create: true
        i18n: true
        fields:
          - label: Title
            name: title

            i18n: true
          - label: Date
            name: date
            widget: datetime
            i18n: duplicate
          - label: Body
