Setting Up Content Collections

Astro’s content collections make it easy to organize your blog posts:

1. Create a content config file:

// src/content/config.ts
export const collections = {
  blog: {
    schema: {
      title: z.string(),
      description: z.string(),
      // ... other schema fields
    }
  }
};

2. Add your first blog post in Markdown with frontmatter

Adding Multilingual Support

1. Organize content by language folders (en, es, fr)
2. Create translation utilities
3. Implement language switching UI
