+# Example
+
+This example project contains a configuration for the German language. All
+footer and search labels (or placeholders), as well as link titles have been
+translated to German. Use this example as a starting point for a project with
+another language than English.
+
+The translations can be changed in `theme/partials/language.html`:
+
+``` jinja
+{% macro t(key) %}{{ {
+  "language": "de",
+  "edit.link.title": "Seite editieren",
+  "footer.previous": "Vorherige Seite",
+  "footer.next": "Nächste Seite",
+  "meta.comments": "Kommentare",
+  "meta.source": "Quellcode",
+  "search.languages": "de",
+  "search.placeholder": "Suche",
+  "search.result.placeholder": "Suchbegriff eingeben",
+  "search.result.none": "Keine Suchergebnisse",
+  "search.result.one": "1 Suchergebnis",
+  "search.result.other": "# Suchergebnisse",
+  "source.link.title": "Quellcode",
+  "toc.title": "Inhaltsverzeichnis"
+}[key] }}{% endmacro %}
