Remove the language id from page resources when publishing multilingual page bundles

[jmooring]

I am not sure if this is (a) a defect, (b) an improvement, or (c) a dumb idea.

content structure

content/about
├── example.es.png
├── example.png
├── index.es.md
└── index.md

content/about/index.md

![](example.png)

content/about/index.es.md

![](example.png)   <-- user wants to exclude language id from image name, for a very good reason

Build the site

public/
├── about/
│   ├── example.png
│   └── index.html
├── es/
│   ├── about/
│   │   ├── example.es.png  <-- could/should this be named example.png instead?
│   │   └── index.html
│   └── index.html
└── index.html

With this setup, the img element in public/es/about/index.html refers to a non-existent path:

<img src="example.png" alt="">

The proposed solution is to remove the language id from page resources when publishing multilingual page bundles. This is not limited to images; it would be applied to all page resources.

We have made this setup work with an image render hook that falls back to a language-specific resource, but it seems like we shouldn't have to do this. Maybe.

Minimal reproducible example:

git clone --single-branch -b hugo-github-issue-9557 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-github-issue-9557
cd hugo-github-issue-9557
hugo
tree public
grep img public/es/about/index.html

There is another issue about this (somewhere), I even have a branch with a fix -- but that branch needs some ... ehhm... more work.
