Effectively test multi-language content generation in AnQiCMS: A comprehensive guide from configuration to practice

AnQiCMS as an enterprise-level content management system developed based on the Go language, took full consideration of the needs of global content promotion from the very beginning, and therefore built-in strong multilingual support.For companies committed to expanding into international markets or for self-media that want to serve users of different languages, it is crucial to ensure that content in different language versions is presented accurately, fluently, and brings a good user experience and search engine performance.This article will serve as an experienced website operations expert, guiding you to deeply understand how to test the generation effect of different language content in AnQiCMS.

1. Understand the multilingual mechanism of AnQiCMS

Firstly, we need to clarify the aspects of AnQiCMS's multilingual support.It is not just about simply switching the back-end interface language, but also about being able to manage and display website content in different languages, and providing corresponding templates and SEO optimization capabilities.

  1. System language package supportThe AnQiCMS default language package allows you to select the display language of the admin interface, such as Chinese or English.This mainly facilitates administrators to operate in different language environments.
  2. Multi-language translation at the template level: PasslocalesTable of contents and{% tr %}Translation label, AnQiCMS allows developers to provide multilingual versions of fixed text in templates (such as navigation menu items, button text, copyright information, etc.) to achieve dynamic translation of the front-end interface.
  3. Content independent management under multi-site strategy: One of the core highlights of AnQiCMS is the "multi-site management" feature.For multilingual websites, the most common and recommended practice is to set up an independent site for each language. For example,www.yourdomain.comUsed for Chinese content, anden.yourdomain.comorwww.yourdomain.com/en/Used for English content. Each site can have its own independent content, categories, tags, and even templates, thus achieving complete separation and precise management of content.In this mode, content of different languages exists as independent entities, rather than switching within the same item.
  4. SEO optimization supportIn order to help search engines better understand and index the content of different language versions, AnQiCMS also provideshreflangthe integration of tags, which is a key element of international SEO.

Chapter 2: Prepare the test environment: Configuration and content filling

To comprehensively test the effect of multilingual content, we need to perform a series of configurations and content preparations in the AnQiCMS backend.

1. Backend global language settings and template localization

Although the background language settings mainly affect the administrator's operation interface, it is still necessary to understand its location.You can go to the 'System Settings' under 'Global Function Settings', find the 'Default Language Package' option, and select Chinese or English as needed.

For the fixed text that needs to be translated in the front-end template, AnQiCMS adopts a flexible localization solution. You need to create in the root directory of the templatelocalesDirectory, and create a corresponding folder for each language (for examplezh-cn/en-us/jaetc.), then create.ymlfiles (such asdefault.yml), used to store key-value pair translation text. For example, in Chinesedefault.ymldefined in Chinese"yourLocation": "您的位置", Englishdefault.ymldefined in Chinese"yourLocation": "Your location"translations. In the template, use{% tr "yourLocation" %}It can dynamically display the translation of the current language.

2. Construction of content model and creation of multilingual content

Under a multi-site strategy, creating independent content for each language is the foundation for testing effectiveness.This means you need to create articles, products, single pages, categories, and tags for each language site separately.

  • Create content (documents, products, single pages)In their respective language site backends, add documents, products, or single pages according to the regular process.The focus is to ensure that core fields such as 'Document Title', 'Document Summary', and 'Document Content' are filled with text in the target language.For example, an article about the 'Advantages of AnQiCMS' is written in Chinese on the Chinese site, and in English on the English site.
  • Create categories and tagsSimilarly, the category name and tag name should also be set according to the language site.For example, the category on the Chinese site may be 'Industry Information', and the corresponding category on the English site is 'Industry News'.
