Crudely implemented a multi-lingual version of my partner's business site (https://saraszabo.org) ...when I should have spent a bit more time reading how to do it first.

A quick glance at some #11ty documentation & @helenchong 's How To post ( https://helenchong.dev/blog/posts/2025-09-05-eleventy-multilingual-blog/ ) and I'm surprised that a common approach seems to be (for example):

/en/about/
/fr/about/
/es/about/

instead of

/en/about/
/fr/a-propos/
/es/quiénes-somos

Is one of these "better" than the other? The former probably simplifies the templates, but if there aren't that many pages, then it's manageable without.

Am I overthinking this? Probably.

Suggestions welcome...
