Website Updates: Build Optimization & SEO Boost
What developments have taken place today?
Today’s commits focused on enhancing internationalization (i18n) capabilities across several areas of the website, improving responsiveness, and refining user interface elements. Key changes include:
- Navigation Redesign: The website’s navigation has been overhauled with a full-width layout featuring a hamburger menu for mobile devices and improved accessibility features like tappable links and aria attributes. This provides a more modern and responsive experience across different screen sizes.
- Internationalization Enhancements (Czech & German): Significant translation work has been completed, adding Czech and German support for various strings including login labels, placeholders, button text, and website descriptions. This expands the website’s reach to a wider audience. The use of translation keys ensures consistency and ease of future localization updates.
- Time Difference Formatting: The
humanReadableTimeDifferencefunction has been updated to correctly handle instrumental case usage for “ago” in Czech and Slovenian, resulting in grammatically correct time displays. - Route Handling & Language Prefixes: The website’s routing logic has been modified to incorporate request paths into language dropdown options, enhancing flexibility when dealing with multilingual applications. Project and post URLs now use a new
generateRoutefunction for consistent URL generation based on the user’s selected language. Default prefixes (e.g., /en/) have been added for clarity. - CSS Compilation & Styling: The CSS build process has been updated to utilize a newer version of
cssnano, and minor styling adjustments have been made to improve visual appeal, including rounded corners, shadows, and padding.
In summary, these changes represent a substantial investment in improving the website’s accessibility and usability for international users, while also refining its responsiveness and overall design aesthetic. The enhanced i18n support paves the way for future expansion into additional languages, contributing to a more inclusive and globally-oriented user experience.
