Common code for multilingual Jekyll sites

Guide that inspired this Thanks goes to @sylvaindurand.

Add this repo as submodule to _includes;
Make the following: _layouts/redirect.html, _includes/t.html, _includes/langbox.html;
In all of those files put the following: {% include jekyll-trans/<filename>.html %} (replace <filename> ofc). This is to dance around GitHub pages' symlink limitations;
Create folders named after languages you have, put index.html referencing your normal layout. In root index.html reference a redirect layout;
Use as {% include t.html s='translation_string_id' %}
Include lang = {{ page.lang }} in your <html> tag
Put default lang variables over paths, i.e.: ```YAML defaults:

Define translation strings as:

t:
  en:
 lang:          'English'
 key:           'value'
 key2:          'value2'

Key lang is assumed to be the language's name in itself, for the purposes of the language selection UI.
For UI JavaScript include langbox_js.html from somewhere relevant, e.g. {% include jekyll-trans/langbox_js.html %} from your scripts.html include.
Provide the EU cookie directive translations at: t.lang.cookie_banner.
