How to translate Categories, Series, Tags without creating corresponding _index.md?

[TetraTheta]

At the top of 'front page' of site, we have these icons which leads to mysite.com/categories, mysite.com/series, mysite.com/tags.

And you clikc one of them, it will show you something like this:

'Categories' is not translated.

I think the only way to translate it is creating content/categories/_index.md and put title: 카테고리 as front matter. Same thing applies to 'Series' and 'Tags' too.

And here starts my problem.

I don't have plan to use docs module for now. All of my content are currently under content/blog/ directory.

content
├ blog
│ ├ chit-chat
│ └ game
├ categories
├ series
└ tags

But I want to organize my contents like this:

content
├ chit-chat
├ game
└ docs (if I use `docs` module later)

This will simplify content's URL by removing /blog/ part from the URL. /docs/ would be 'special case' if I use it on my site.

Since categories, series, tags directory don't have any actual content, I simply want to remove it. But doing that will revert my translation back to 'Categories', 'Series', 'Tags'.

 

So, how can I translate those 'Categories', 'Series', 'Tags' without creating placeholder _index.md file and its parent directory?

No, it's impossible without creating _index.md, and specify the title parameter, unless you implement it by overriding the layouts/partials/hb/modules/blog/home/taxonomies.html and the i18n function.
But it won't be accepted to be merged into the module, it makes no sense to me to do that, since the pages always be generated, even there are _index.md in taxonomies folder or not. Beside the taxonomies item will be missed from breadcrumb without _index.md.

Yeah, I missed the breadcrumb will also be untranslated if I remove _index.md.

Judging from class of 'untranslated title', I think I should modify at least layouts/_default/terms.html and layouts/partials/hb/modules/breadcrumb/index.html but this will result too many work for me.

I will try to use Hugo's URL Management feature instead.
Redirecting /blog/game/ to /game and /blog/chit-chat/ to /chit-chat will be sufficient, I guess.

Thank you for the answer!
