Hi there, I’m currently making my theme Ghost 2.0 compliant and I must say I’m very happy with this new release. Really, thanks for the hard work Ghost team, it’s always a pleasure! But here’s my problem. My blog has two languages : FR by default and some posts in EN. I used the new dynamic routing to filter posts via the language tag and it worked pretty well BUT… I stumbled upon an issue. My theme has a json for each language (FR & EN) and when I go to my url `/en/` I’d like to get my english theme as well as my english posts, you see. But I don’t see how, since, AFAIK, the json is selected according to the language set in the blog settings. Did I miss something or is this something you’re currently working on? ---

@John @GoOz can’t we just use custom templates? like tag-{{slug}}.hbs (tag-fr.hbs and tag-en.hbs) ? ---

Sure, but they’re talking about themes which have localisation built in, stored in a JSON file, pulled from our site.locale setting ---

Interesting… sounds like a cool thing to work on 😃 ---

So, if I understand well, I didn’t miss something. 😃 That’s still good to know 😛 ---

Sadly, Dynamic Routing Beta and theme translations don’t play well together **yet**. But we’ll figure this out as soon as possible! Promised! 🙂 For now, the workaround would be to use static templates for the target language. e.g. - en.hbs for the collection index page - a [custom post template](https://help.ghost.org/article/46-custom-templates) like custom-en.hbs - tag-en.hbs for the tag page (as @Tony suggested) ---
