Translating Language Names

[nnzv]

Hi there,

I'm using hugo-book theme for personal experiments, and I have a question about translating language names.

Here's what's in my setup:

[languages]
[languages.en]
  languageName = 'English'
  contentDir = 'content.en'
  weight = 1

[languages.es]
  languageName = 'Spanish'
  contentDir = 'content.es'
  weight = 2

When I switch to Spanish, the menu still shows 'Spanish' instead of 'Español' (the translation from English to Spanish).

Is there a way to make it automatically show the right language name based on the chosen language? I think this would make things better for websites with different languages.

Hi!
There is no way to do this out of the box, in theory you can pass languageName thought i18n in partials/docs/languages.html as {{ i18n .Language.LanguageName }} and then add translations in i18n folder.
But for me it will be very hard to maintain these translations in theme

Better you can write Español instead spanish in languageName :)
