One need to have separate build dirs for every language and it copies all static files (css, js, images,..) to every build dir. That's just how it works :-/ (Correct me in case anyone knows I am wrong).<br></div><div>However we can of course try to solve this on our and and make our deploy tools smart in a way that they keep only one version of each image file and replace the others with symlinks.</div><div>It should be more or less easy to detect images that are translated since they follow the pattern <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">filename.de.png where "de" is the language code, so this image would be special for German, while for all other languages filename.png is used.</span></code></div><div><br></div><div>I hope that helps so far. I might be able to look into this, but probably not very soon so if anybody else can work on this I am more than happy.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Julius<br></div><div><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><br></span></code></div><p>15.
