# Topic 2 (default version only)
!!! tip
**Use the language switcher in the header** to switch between the localized versions of this demo website. This switcher is part of [mkdocs-material >= 7.1.0](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/changing-the-language/#site-language-selector) and is **automatically configured by this plugin** or can be statically configured from the [mkdocs.yml file](https://github.com/ultrabug/mkdocs-static-i18n/blob/main/mkdocs.yml).
## What you are seeing now
This page source file and media content have been localized after applying
the [localized build logic](#localized-build-logic) described below. Here is a
quick recap of the files used as source and the generated build structure of
what you see:
```
docs
├── image.en.png <-- this image file is used here on the default version
├── image.fr.png
├── index.fr.md
├── index.md
├── topic1
│ ├── named_file.en.md
│ └── named_file.fr.md
└── topic2
├── index.en.md
└── index.md <-- this file is used here on the default version
```
```
site
├── en
│ ├── image.png
│ ├── index.html
│ ├── topic1
│ │ └── named_file
│ │ └── index.html
│ └── topic2
│ └── index.html
├── fr
│ ├── image.png
│ ├── index.html
│ ├── topic1
│ │ └── named_file
│ │ └── index.html
│ └── topic2
│ └── index.html
├── image.png <-- you see this image here on the default version
├── index.html
├── topic1
│ └── named_file
│ └── index.html
└── topic2
└── index.html <-- you are here on the default version
```
## Automatic media / link / asset localization
This image source is dynamically localized while still being referenced in the
markdown source of the page as ``. This means that
this plugin allows you to not worry about links, media and static content file
names, just use their simple name and concentrate on your content translation!
---
## Localized build logic
The settings used to build this site is:
```
plugins:
- i18n:
default_language: en
languages:
en: english
fr: français
```
Meaning that we will get three versions of our website:
1. the `default_language` version which will use any `.md` documentation file first and fallback to any `.en.md` file found since `en` is the default language
2. the `/en` language version which will use any `.en.md` documentation file first and fallback to any `.md` file found
3. the `/fr` language version which will use any `.fr.md` documentation file first and fallback to either `.en.md` file (default language) or `.md` file (default language fallback) whichever comes first
Given that logic, the following `site` structure is built:
```
site
├── 404.html
├── assets
│ ├── images
│ ├── javascripts
│ └── stylesheets
├── en
│ ├── image.png
│ ├── index.html
│ ├── topic1
│ │ └── named_file
│ │ └── index.html
│ └── topic2
│ └── index.html
├── fr
│ ├── image.png
│ ├── index.html
│ ├── topic1
│ │ └── named_file
│ │ └── index.html
│ └── topic2
│ └── index.html
├── image.png
├── index.html
├── topic1
│ └── named_file
│ └── index.html
└── topic2
└── index.html
```
