Hello experts,
I have a repository in GitHub that describes my TTL CPU project. I wrote the documentation in my native language (Italian) and I managed to publish it into GitHub pages. It was not easy because to me liquid, gems, Jekyll etc. are unknown topics (I used to understand a little bit more many years ago with HTML and ASP).
When I first created the GitHub repository, I used to connect from my PC to the GitHub repo, edit pages and commit, all online. I use VScode.
I was not able to setup the Jekyll minimal-mistakes theme, hence I tried to check other GH repos to understand how they worked and I copied the configuration files and edited them a little bit as needed for my navigation bars.
Not long ago I understood that I could clone the repository to my Windows PC, edit locally (although I cannot have a “local” preview of the changes because I cannot “build” a site in my PC as it does not run a “jekyll server”), commit locally and then Sync.
Now, I’d like to create an English copy of the documentation. I don’t need dynamic pages . I will make a copy of the Italian pages, translate them and save them into a subfolder (i.e. /en).
I’d like to be able to select language on a drop-down menu and be redirected to the IT or EN page.
I’ve seen that there are plugins for internationalization. I spent a bunch of hours trying to understand how they work… task successfully failed 
.
I cannot install additional applications on the Windows PC. VScode is installed, and git is also installed.
The repo I’m currently trying to make the multi-language thing is GitHub - andreamazzai/ml
This is the tree structure:
docs is the root from where the pages are published on GH Pages
docs/en contains the same pages of the “native” pages
Will someone help me to achieve my goal?
