So I should create a _posts folder and add each page in that format and inside of each md file the permalink to existing html page?

You can also use symlinks. I was able to put a post into your RSS feed like this:

$ mkdir _posts
$ cd _posts
$ ln -s ../beginner/5-stages-became-bitcoiner-de.html 2009-01-03-5-stages-became-bitcoiner-de.html

But I think the bigger problem is how to create an RSS feed for each language.

Ok I create a symlink for testing in _posts

Now you said:

Since the default permalink is using /YYYY/MM/DD/title.html which is probably not what you want, you also need to set permalink in your front matter.

That means for each page I would have to add the permalink in the header of the file? Like:

layout: default-de
title: 21 ₿itcoin Orange Pillen für Neulinge
permalink: /2025-01-03-21-bitcoin-orange-pills-de.html

No, for that one the permalink needs to be /general/21-bitcoin-orange-pills-de.html

Try it without a permalink so the default will be used in the RSS feed and you will see what I mean.

Yes, I've created on symlink. So it should appear into rss feed right?

Anything you put into _posts and follows YYYY-MM-DD-title.html format should show up in the RSS feed, yes.

This doesn’t look like valid XML

seems OK when I read it in https://rssatom.com/ Now I only need to format it a bit to display the meta title/subtitle and content

Mhh you are right, https://validator.w3.org/feed/ and https://www.rssboard.org/rss-validator/ also show it as valid. Maybe it’s just Safari displaying it weird, I would not be surprised.

I will be happy with only EN for the moment. Each page have links to other languages anyways so reader con just click it.

I was too lazy to do it for all posts. I sent you a PR that should explain to you what you need to do for each of them.

Let me know if that works for you, this can probably also be scripted.

don't worry I can prepare myself the symlinks in _posts. Let me add that and see how it goes. Thanks.

btw your language section is inconsistent across pages.

I think you should just show all languages on every page and in the same order.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin OP 4 Jan

Depends on what language is the page, the links to others are skipping the actual one. For example a ES page will not have the link to the ES page, is skipped. It doesn't make sense to put the link to the same page.

I saw that but it's confusing as a user. You can use CSS to show which language is currently selected.
