Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For me, what's pretty disappointing in HTMLy is: that you aren't able to create a multilingual blog easily one instance.
Suppose I have a blog: https://example.com, ok, the main page (or, the root / page) is displaying the main language that I want my audience to see. If a reader wants to read in another language, he just clicks on a 'es' button at the top/right of the page (in example) and is redirected to a subdirectory such as https://example.com/es. There, the reader is presented with a localized version of the same blog.

Describe the solution you'd like

There, the reader is presented with a localized version of the same blog.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Now, I think that it is possible to: create a subdirectory (es, i.e.), exclude it from HTMLy finding it and just set up another instance of HTMLy, but it evidently would be more convenient if it was natively supported in HTMLy.

Additional context
Then there would be questions around like: how would the edit page look like?
And example: it would show 2 edit fields where on one side you have the original (main) language, and on the right side you can manually 'translate' the same post into another language.

Thanks. It would be interesting to find out what the HTMLy devs think about this feature request, it's just that this is a thing that's been bugging me about HTMLy.
