Use this function with both monolingual and multilingual configurations. The URL returned by this function depends on:
baseURL
in site configurationIn examples that follow, the project is multilingual with content in
both Español (es
) and English (en
). The
default language is Español. The returned values are from the English
site.
If the input does not begin with a slash, the resulting URL will be
correct regardless of the baseURL
.
With baseURL = https://example.org/
{{ absLangURL "" }} → https://example.org/en/
{{ absLangURL "articles" }} → https://example.org/en/articles
{{ absLangURL "style.css" }} → https://example.org/en/style.css
With baseURL = https://example.org/docs/
{{ absLangURL "" }} → https://example.org/docs/en/
{{ absLangURL "articles" }} → https://example.org/docs/en/articles
{{ absLangURL "style.css" }} → https://example.org/docs/en/style.css
If the input begins with a slash, the resulting URL will be incorrect
when the baseURL
includes a subdirectory. With a leading
slash, the function returns a URL relative to the protocol+host section
of the baseURL
.
With baseURL = https://example.org/
{{ absLangURL "/" }} → https://example.org/en/
{{ absLangURL "/articles" }} → https://example.org/en/articles
{{ absLangURL "/style.css" }} → https://example.org/en/style.css
With baseURL = https://example.org/docs/
{{ absLangURL "/" }} → https://example.org/en/
{{ absLangURL "/articles" }} → https://example.org/en/articles
{{ absLangURL "/style.css" }} → https://example.org/en/style.css
{{% note %}} The last three examples are not desirable in most situations. As a best practice, never include a leading slash when using this function. {{% /note %}}
