Multi-language support

If you want this feature, please 👍 this comment so we know how much demand there is.

This would add complexity to the template, and I feel that Google Translate and other browser extensions fill this gap decently well.

Since the multi-language jekyll plugin is not supported natively by github pages, we probably wont support it until a lot more people request it. To implement it, we'd have to switch to using a heftier gh-actions workflow to manually build the site and commit the results to the gh-pages branch, which muddies up things and sorta defeats one of the main purposes of the template: not having a separate gh-pages branch and not having a complex CI.

Turns out, the above happened. We are switching to an Actions-based build, which allows us to use any plugins we want. Yay! This plugin is a huge thing to set up, so I don't think we will ever include it in the base template, but I will put it in the docs as a recommended plugin.
