Multilingual Ghost Install

Crimson’s multilingual setup expects multiple Ghost installations, one for each language, installed into separate directories on the same server.

What you will create

Example structure:

• English Ghost: ghost-en/ → serves /

• Hindi Ghost: ghost-hi/ → serves /hi

• Spanish Ghost: ghost-es/ → serves /es

Key input during each Ghost install: “Ghost website URL”

When you run ghost install in each folder, you must set the correct site URL for that language:

• English: https://www.example.com (root)

• Hindi: https://www.example.com/hi

• Spanish: https://www.example.com/es

Why this matters

Crimson warns that if you set the wrong URL during setup (for example, installing Spanish at the root URL), it can overwrite or conflict with the English site.

Step-by-step summary (high level)
