🌍 Building and Serving Multi-Language

Supporting multi-language documentation? Follow these steps:

1. Stage all new language *.md files with Git:

2. Build all languages to the /site folder, ensuring relevant root-level files are present:

   ```bash

   Clear existing /site directory

   rm -rf site

   Loop through each language config file and build

   mkdocs build -f docs/mkdocs.yml for file in docs/mkdocs_*.yml; do echo "Building MkDocs site with $file" mkdocs build -f "$file" done ```

3. To preview your site, initiate a simple HTTP server:

   Open in your preferred browser

   ```
