11 Hugo `0.31` is the **Language Multihost Edition!**
12
13 > <img src="https://esolia.com/img/eSolia-Logo-Flat-2015.svg" alt="eSolia" width="100px" align="top" style="width:100px" />The Multihost feature is sponsored by [eSolia](https://esolia.com/), [@rickcogley](https://github.com/rickcogley)'s company.
14
15 [Multihost](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/#configure-multilingual-multihost) means that you can have a **`baseURL` per language**, for example, `https://no.example.com` and `https://en.example.com`. This is seamlessly integrated, and the built-in web server with live reload and `navigateToChanged` etc. just works. A related enhancement in this release is the support for **as many static dirs as you need**, with intelligent language overrides, forming a big union file system. Add to that several other language related fixes and enhancements, it is safe to say that this is the version you want for multilingual Hugo sites!

31 ## Notes
32
33 * For mapping of translated content, Hugo now considers the full path of the content file, which makes it possible with translation of duplicate content filenames such as `index.md`. A specific translation key can be specified with the new `translationKey` front matter variable. See [#2699](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/2699).
