Indefault.ymlfile, you can define key-value pairs, for example:

   # zh-cn/default.yml
   "yourLocation": "您的位置"
   "welcomeMessage": "欢迎来到我们的网站！"
   
   # en-us/default.yml
   "yourLocation": "Your Location"
   "welcomeMessage": "Welcome to our website!"

   <div>
       <span>切换语言：</span>

       <a href="{{item.Link}}">
           {%- if item.LanguageIcon %}
           <img src="{{item.LanguageIcon}}" alt="{{item.LanguageName}}" />
           {%- else %}
           {{item.LanguageEmoji}}
           {% endif %}

       </a>
