I haven’t messed with internationalization in Eleventy but I know it’s capable.

Maybe start at Internationalization with Eleventy 2.0 and Netlify, which I found via The 11ty Bundle

Neighbor and I wave forlornly at each other from a block and a half apart as Bouncy Dog and Fluffy Dog (that’s the one with the neighbor) scream Small Dog Battle Cries.

We are both energized by tidying puttering cleaning type tasks so Mrs Geek and I had a brief house meeting allocating same so nobody takes each other’s preferred dopamine duty.

The eldest among us remember the First Web, before search engines were Good Actually. They used secret magics to make sense of the chaos that was the First Web.

Site directories.

Web rings.

Home pages linking to trusted sites.

Homework and jello shooter recipes study notes.

Now that the Search Engines have fallen it is time to bring those ancient tools back, for ourselves and the youngest among us who never knew the First Web.

Mrs Geek: “I’m going to go to the loud blingy place? Why don’t you stay home so you can recover from the last time, in peace and quiet?”

Me: “That sounds smart, oh smartest of us. Enjoy your blingy time and I will enjoy my quiet.”

she: (driving off)

Oh, I miss the 216 color Web palette. Not that it was pretty. Lord no. But it was way easier for me to come up with informed color combinations.

Now it’s everything, but I have to learn about gamut and oklab() if I want to do it right, and keep in mind that it’ll display different on every system.

Which is fun. But sometimes I miss everybody getting the same pea green soup.

You don’t have to list the entire Web, or even everything that matters. That was never a good idea. Or particularly interesting, for that matter.

Just — if you’re so inclined — share links to stuff you find interesting or useful. If you’re not so inclined — don’t?

BTW I do not recommend using #Logseq hierarchies in their current form. I’ve got it slightly more manageable with Page View UI putting subtrees in their own widget, but yeesh.
