This seems like an odd name. What is blog.name used for by middleman?

When there're multiple blog instances in a single middleman site (i.e. when defined activate :blog multiple times), we need to name each of them and specify the name in some helper methods (blog, page_articles). Otherwise an error will be raised:

Can we not just direct /blog/* to /blog/en/* and do away with the two

Github pages doesn't allow you to return 3xx status codes for redirects. We could use meta redirects but that's gross.

Middleman allows us to proxy an entire set of pages, which I'd assume would duplicate the blog without processing it twice

But then we'll have the same content with two different canonical URLs to it. That's not a good idea. Among other things, it's a factor google takes into account for rankings.

This does that anyway, as it still takes en into account.

Hmm. I didn't realize that. Since we can't use proper HTTP redirects my preference is to keep the English blog available at it's current URLs and add /blog/ja for Japenese blog posts but not /blog/en as a mirror. Is that feasible?

It doesn't generate /en namespace because mount_at_root: :en option is specified (for the /blog index page) and the current_blog_name helper returns the root blog name 'en' for en locale (for each permalink).
