@wanghaisheng this library does not support markdown in the /pages directory.

I encourage you to separate your markdown content from your astro pages that have the styling and logic.

Instead, for markdown, I recommend using Astro with its Content Collections:

• https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/content-collections/#organizing-with-subdirectories
• https://docs.astro.build/en/recipes/i18n/#use-collections-for-translated-content

Here’s an example project structure:

.
└── astro-project/
    └── src/
        ├── pages/
        │   └── blog/
        │       ├── index.astro
        │       └── [id].astro
        └── content/
            └── blog/
                ├── en/
                │   ├── post-1.md
                │   └── post-2.md
                ├── es/
                │   ├── post-1.md
                │   └── post-2.md
                └── fr/
                    ├── post-1.md
                    └── post-2.md

That way, all your posts are organized with all your languages, and you have a single blog page to list posts and individual page for each post.

Then, you can use your locale from this library along with getCollection and getEntry, and render the contents in your Astro files.

So all your locales will use the same astro template, even with a default locale.

Let me know if you have any questions! I will update the README with this information too.

I finally get that
i am use content/*.md now
let me try

@jlarmstrongiv

we must put blog content under each language folder?

└── astro-project/
└── src/
├── pages/
│ └── blog/
│ ├── index.astro
│ └── [id].astro
└── content/
└── blog/
│ ├── post-1.md
│ └── post-2.md
├── en/
│ ├── post-1.md
│ └── post-2.md
├── es/
│ ├── post-1.md
│ └── post-2.md
└── fr/
├── post-1.md
└── post-2.md

Here is an example using the blog template from astro with this library
