# Polyglot 1.7.0 and `page_id` front-matter for different permalinks by language

29 Oct 2023

I’m excited to announce Jekyll-Polyglot 1.7.0, which has a new feature to give pages language specific permalinks and to retain their association to other relative pages.

This new feature is provided by antoniovazquezblanco, who is a gentleman and a scholar.

## use `page_id` frontmatter to associate pages with different permalinks

Polyglot associates pages by matching their permalinks or filenames. However some site translations may instead desire pages with unique permalinks.

Polyglot already coordinates multiple copes of the same document across different languages. So keying off of a different property like `page_id` is no different than keying off of the permalink.

Using a `page_id` to coordinate similar pages with different permalinks ensures that custom permalinks can still be seen on language specific sites.

### redirects for unique permalinks

The challenge with unique permalinks comes with relativizing those urls. Polyglot avoids this problem entirely by suggesting consistent permalinks.

To help with this, polyglot sets `redirect_from` hidden frontmatter on these pages, listing the unique permalinks of corresponding pages.

When using the `jekyll-redirect-from` plugin, that frontmatter will be picked up, and intelligent redirects made to the page’s custom permalink.

To see this in action, visit this page with a long permalink in different languages.

## Other bug fixes

- This release should have a fix for #151 and #184, preventing crashes on startup when calling other jekyll commands.

# Polyglot 1.6.0 and Simplified Chinese language support

08 Jun 2023

The Polyglot website has been updated with support for Chinese!

This is made possible by aturret, who contributed numerous bugfixes to the plugin, the website, and an entirely new site translation.

Additionally, jekyll-polyglot 1.6.0 is now available from rubygems.

## Fix for relativization of frozen strings

Polyglot used String::gsub! which mutates a `.frozen?` string. This has now been fixed to duplicate the cloned string before modifying it.

## Fix for site navigation not being translated

A typo in the html on the site layout prevented the previous page navigation from being translated correctly.

## Support for Chinese Language

With a big 谢谢 of support and appreciation to aturret, polyglot.untra.io now supports a `zh-CN` Simplified Chinese translation!
