    languageName: Deutsch
    weight: 2
  en:
    contentDir: content/en
    languageCode: en-US
    languageName: English
    weight: 1

defaultContentLanguage = 'en'
[languages]
  [languages.de]
    contentDir = 'content/de'
    languageCode = 'de-DE'
    languageName = 'Deutsch'
    weight = 2
  [languages.en]
    contentDir = 'content/en'
    languageCode = 'en-US'
    languageName = 'English'
    weight = 1

{
   "defaultContentLanguage": "en",
   "languages": {
      "de": {
         "contentDir": "content/de",
         "languageCode": "de-DE",
         "languageName": "Deutsch",
         "weight": 2
      },
      "en": {
         "contentDir": "content/en",
         "languageCode": "en-US",
         "languageName": "English",
         "weight": 1
      }
   }
}

And this content:

content/
├── de/
│   ├── books/
│   │   ├── buch-1.md
│   │   └── book-2.md
│   └── _index.md
├── en/
│   ├── books/
│   │   ├── book-1.md
│   │   └── book-2.md
│   └── _index.md
└── _index.md

And this front matter:

---
title: Book 1
translationKey: foo
---

+++
title = 'Book 1'
translationKey = 'foo'
+++

{
   "title": "Book 1",
   "translationKey": "foo"
}

---
title: Buch 1
translationKey: foo
---

+++
title = 'Buch 1'
translationKey = 'foo'
+++

{
   "title": "Buch 1",
   "translationKey": "foo"
}

When rendering either either of the pages above:

{{ .TranslationKey }} → page/foo

If the front matter of Book 2, in both languages, does not include a translation key:

{{ .TranslationKey }} → page/books/book-2
