Multilingual 404 page

[hauzmann]

Hi everyone! I couldn't find a way to set up multilingual 404 pages for my docs. I've changed 404.html layout text to this:
{{ i18n "notfound" }}
and created translations for it in my en/de/fr etc. yaml files.

Hextra successfully creates 404 files in lang subdirectories of my project, but always returns 404.html for default language, no matter what language is currently selected.

I couldn't find a way to set up multilingual 404 pages for my docs. I've changed 404.html layout text to this:

@hauzmann how did you override the 404.html? And did you confirm whether the override was successful?

@imfing In my layouts folder I've changed 404.html file content with lang.Translate function a.k.a {{ i18n "notFound" }}.

In my i18n folder I've created en.yaml and de.yaml with appropriate translations such as notFond: "This page could not be found." and notFound: "Diese Seite konnte nicht gefunden werden.". But I always have English version, no matter what language is selected. I think maybe it has something to do with Apache/Ngnix configuration (.htaccess etc.) Maybe you've had similar problem and came up with some kind of solution?

p.s. in my public folder Hextra generates /404.html and de/404.html with correct translations, but in the end it always displays 404.html from root folder.

I don't have a solution for this.

From what I understand, the default behavior is out of the theme or Hugo's control. Usually the server (like Nginx) decides the fall back 404 location (usually /404.html)
