Many Canadian municipalities publish in English and French, by law or by choice. Too often the French site is a separate copy that falls months behind.
In Castorix, translation lives inside the content. Every block on every page has an English and a French version, edited side by side.
What residents see
A language toggle on every page takes residents to the same page in the other language. If a block hasn't been translated yet, it shows the other language rather than a blank space, so nothing goes missing.
What's next
Our staff assistant will draft a French version of a block for a person to review and approve. Nothing is published without that review.
