Dynamium site — Jekyll (bilingual: FR default / EN)

A Jekyll version of the Dynamium site for GitHub Pages, with French as the default language and an English version at /en/.

How it works

• French lives at the site root (/) — index.html.
• English lives at /en/ — en/index.html.
• Both pages pull from the same data files, picking the right language per field (e.g. role_en / role_fr). The "FR"/"EN" pill in the nav switches between them.
• News posts are one file per language per story (e.g. 2025-09-15-icarm-2025.md for English, 2025-09-15-fr-icarm-2025.md for French) — each post has a lang: en or lang: fr front-matter field, and each page only lists posts matching its own language.

How to update content

• Members — edit _data/members.yml. Each person needs role_en/role_fr and a section (one of professors, staff_grad, undergrad, alumni — see _config.yml). photo is optional; omit it to show initials instead.
• News — add two new files to _posts/: one English (YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md, lang: en) and one French (YYYY-MM-DD-fr-slug.md, lang: fr). Each page shows its own 6 most recent posts.
• Research areas — edit _data/research.yml (title_en/title_fr, description_en/description_fr).
• UI labels / hero copy / section headings — edit _data/strings.yml (one block per language).

Running locally (optional, to preview before pushing)

bundle init
bundle add jekyll
bundle exec jekyll serve

Then open http://localhost:4000 (French) and http://localhost:4000/en/ (English).

Publishing on GitHub Pages

1. Push this folder's contents to the root of your GitHub Pages repo.
2. In _config.yml, set url to your site's address and baseurl if the site lives in a subpath (leave both as-is for a custom domain or a username.github.io user page).
3. Commit and push — GitHub Pages rebuilds automatically within a minute or two.

Design notes

Layout and one-off page markup (nav, footer, hero, section wrappers) live in _layouts/default.html, index.html, and en/index.html — you generally shouldn't need to touch these for routine updates. Colors: #02488C (navy, used sparingly) and #E0A725 (gold) are the brand accents on a near-black #0A1620 background.
