Someone asked me for advice on/help with hosting a bilingual blog. They think about using https://ghost.org/ but that does not support multiple languages out of the box, so it requires multiple instances or other bespoke solutions. They already have a website, so the blog would be just a new subdomain, but they want to move away from WordPress (or at least not use it for blogging), which they are using for their content currently. Self hosting ghost is also not the preference, since there are affordable third-party hosting offerings for it. Are there other, maybe simpler, interesting solutions?

bilingual is difficult when you want no server code. the switch is usually made by analyzing the user agent. however manually switching in the frontend would of course work.

I had a reasonably painless experience making a static site for a friend with French and English translations using Svelte
