Description

On the website for InterHop made with Jekyll, there is an "EN/FR" button that allows switching between french and english language.

The code for that website is at framagit. According to their README they're using this to make the site mulilingual.

I was wondering if you would be interested in implementing this? If not, i'll do it for myself but would prefer to avoid diverging from your repo too much. Alternatively if you want me to make a PR just tell me.
