Hi everyone! I'm having some trouble implementing multilingual support on my Astro site and would really appreciate some help.
I've already set up translated pages and a language switch button. The general pages switch correctly between /pt/ and /en/ paths. However, I'm struggling to make this work properly for blog or news posts.
Each post is written in .md files under language-specific folders like:
src/content/noticias/pt/noticia-1.en.md
src/content/noticias/noticia-1.pt.md
When I'm on a specific post (e.g. noticia-1.pt) and click the language switch button, I want it to check if the same slug exists in the other language (noticia-1.en).
If it exists, go to that post.
If it doesn't, fall back to the listing page in that language (/en/noticias).
Right now, I can't figure out how to implement this logic without relying on fetch() or client-side 404 handling. I want everything to be handled at build time using the data available from the .md files.
For context:
I'm currently refactoring the entire project to use Astro exclusively (removing React), and soon I plan to integrate the content layer with Strapi.
/src/pages/[lang] is folder that is working

Any ideas, patterns, or examples of how to cleanly implement this behavior in Astro? Thanks a lot in advance!
