Pathfinder Changelog

1.3.0 - 2025-05-11

• New i18n features!

  • New content collection localization capabilities, where individual blog posts in different languages can be linked with a mappingKey in the frontmatter. This allows content collections to be easily translated without needing to update the routeTranslations object each time!

    • This is accomplished in the new localizedCollections object

    /**
     * * Content collection translations used by the language switcher and hreflang generator
     *
     * Per-collection, per-locale route base mapping (collections to localize are the keys)
     *
     * If you have a key of "blog" then the blog content collection will be localized. This will look
     * for a "mappingKey" in the entry metadata, and use that to map the entry to the correct locale
     *
     * You can use the locale value to map the collection to a different route if desired
     *
     * Note: this does NOT affect the getLocalizedRoute() function. To translate the base routes use the routeTranslations object
     */
    export const localizedCollections = {
      blog: {
        en: "blog",
        fr: "blog",
      },
      // Add more collections/locales as needed
    } as const;

  • Add wildcard support in the routeTranslations object, allowing you to map multiple routes at once.

    • For example, you could route all English category routes /categories/* to the base French route of /categories

    /**
     * * Route translations are used to translate route names for the language switcher component
     * This can be useful for SEO reasons. The key does not matter, it just needs to match between languages
     *
     * ## Notes
     *
     * - These routes must be everything after the base domain. So if this is "atlas.com/blog", the route would be "blog"
     *   - Or if this is "atlas.com/legal/privacy", the route would be "legal/privacy"
     * - This also supports wildcards for language switcher and SEO purposes, and works in conjunction with the localizedCollections object below
     *   - For example, "categories/*" would match "categories/1" or "categories/2" etc for that language.
     */
    export const routeTranslations = {
      en: {
        overviewKey: "overview",
        categoryKey: "categories",
        categoryKey2: "categories/*",
        categoryKey3: "categories",
      },
      fr: {
        overviewKey: "apercu",
        categoryKey: "categories",
        categoryKey2: "categories",
        categoryKey3: "categories/*",
      },
    } as const;

  • You’ll also find a new getLocalizedRoute() function as a drop-in replacement for getRelativeLocaleUrl(). This is more flexible as it utilizes the routeTranslations object to auto-translate routes for you in components. You can use it like this:

    import { getLocaleFromUrl } from "@/js/localeUtils";
    import { getLocalizedRoute } from "@/js/translationUtils";
    
    const currLocale = getLocaleFromUrl(Astro.url);
    const route = getLocalizedRoute(currLocale, "/overview");
    // for the above routeTranslations, this would become "/fr/apercu" for French
