Issues while migrating borisschapira.com

[borisschapira]

I'm trying to migrate borisschapira.com and encounter several issues (branc dev). Right now, the main issue being:

• No files from _locales seems to be considered during the build. Should I explicit _locales in include: in my _config.yml?
• The posts outside _locales are built. I have access to {{ locale | inspect }} with the good values, but {{ page.locale | inspect }} echoes nil.

And, last but not least, the build is sloooooow. Like, very. Event with a limit_posts: 1, so the build only concerns my pages and _confs collection, I have to wait ~1m30s for a build. On master, same config, 8-9s. However, the inertia may be related to the previous explained issues: if I manage to solve them, things may go faster…

Thank you for opening this issue, Boris.
I shall look into your dev branch and leave feedback in the associate pull request

For pages in _locales to be considered, they should be further nested in a sub-directory named according to the locales..
For example, _locales/en-US/_posts/2015-10-11-some-title.markdown when en-US is not your site's default-locale

Regarding the performance issue, the reason could be due to re-rendering of the pages in the _locales directory

My posts and pages are nested into fr, en folders, as defined into my configuration. I've put in _locales every translated page or post.

I've put in _locales every translated page or post.

Agreed. But I think, there is something missing in my README that has not made things clear for you:
Let me explain with the post at path https://github.com/borisschapira/borisschapira.com/blob/dev/_locales/en/_posts/dad/2018-01-12-chip-n-dale/2018-01-12-chip-n-dale.md

That is the translated version because your site's default locale is "fr"
Okay. For that "path",

              source: https://github.com/borisschapira/borisschapira.com/blob/dev
  base_relative_path: _posts/dad/2018-01-12-chip-n-dale/2018-01-12-chip-n-dale.md
locale_relative_path: _posts/dad/2018-01-12-chip-n-dale/2018-01-12-chip-n-dale.md

• You do not have to have a "locale copy" for fr locales. They're your original source files.
  Only _locales/en directory needs to contain copies.
• the base_relative_path and locale_relative_path (example only) should exist on the file system.
  i.e. the following "GitHub urls" should be valid
