The translation key creates a relationship between all translations of a given page. The translation key is derived from the file path, or from the `translationKey` parameter if defined in front matter.
With this site configuration:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
defaultContentLanguage = 'en'
[languages.en]
contentDir = 'content/en'
languageCode = 'en-US'
languageName = 'English'
weight = 1
[languages.de]
contentDir = 'content/de'
languageCode = 'de-DE'
languageName = 'Deutsch'
weight = 2
{{< /code-toggle >}}
And this content:
```text
content/
├── de/
│ ├── books/
│ │ ├── buch-1.md
│ │ └── book-2.md
│ └── _index.md
├── en/
│ ├── books/
│ │ ├── book-1.md
│ │ └── book-2.md
│ └── _index.md
└── _index.md
```
And this front matter:
{{< code-toggle file=content/en/books/book-1.md fm=true >}}
title = 'Book 1'
translationKey = 'foo'
{{< /code-toggle >}}
{{< code-toggle file=content/de/books/buch-1.md fm=true >}}
title = 'Buch 1'
translationKey = 'foo'
{{< /code-toggle >}}
When rendering either either of the pages above:
```go-html-template
{{ .TranslationKey }} → page/foo
```
If the front matter of Book 2, in both languages, does not include a translation key:
```go-html-template
{{ .TranslationKey }} → page/books/book-2
```
