+## Customizing Category Names
+
+The theme allows you to customize category display names and supports both single language and multilingual configurations.
+
+### Setup Steps
+
+1. Create a `data/categories.yaml` file in your site root directory
+2. Choose either single language or multilingual format
+3. Configure your categories with display names and weights
+
+### Single Language Configuration
+
+For single language sites, use this simple format:
+
+```yaml:data/categories.yaml
+# Single language format
+index:
+  name: "Computer Technology"  # Display name for the category
+  weight: 10                  # Lower weight appears first in navigation
+
+docs:
+  name: "Programming"         # Custom display name
+  weight: 2                  # Sorting weight
+```
+
+### Multilingual Configuration
+
+For multilingual sites, use this format:
+
+```yaml:data/categories.yaml
+# Multilingual format
+index:
+  name:
+    zh: "计算机技术"              # Chinese display name
+    en: "Computer Technology"    # English display name
+    fr: "Technologie"           # French display name
+    default: "Technology"        # Fallback when language not found
+  weight: 10                    # Sorting weight (lower appears first)
+
+docs:
+  name:
+    zh: "文档"                   # Chinese name
+    en: "Documentation"         # English name
+    fr: "Documentation"         # French name
+    default: "Documentation"    # Default fallback name
+  weight: 2                     # Sorting weight
+```
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+Each category in `categories.yaml` supports these options:
+
+- `name`: String or map of language codes to display names
+- `weight`: Integer for sorting (lower numbers appear first)
+
+### Notes
+
+1. Category keys in `categories.yaml` must match the category names used in your content files
+2. Weights are optional, defaulting to 100 if not specified
+3. Categories are sorted by weight first, then by post count
+4. For multilingual sites, always provide a `default` name as fallback
+5. Category names are case-insensitive in the configuration
+
+### Example Usage in Content
+
+When creating posts, use the lowercase category name in your front matter:
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: "My Post"
+categories: [
+    "docs",    # Will display as "Documentation" based on categories.yaml
+    "index"    # Will display as "Computer Technology"
+]
+---
+```
+
+### Advanced Features
+
+1. **Flexible Language Support**: Add as many languages as needed in multilingual format
+2. **Fallback System**: Uses default name if specific language is not found
+3. **Weight-based Sorting**: Control category order in navigation
