I see the bug. The link should bring you to https://wet-boew.github.io/gcweb-jekyll/en/ instead of https://wet-boew.github.io/en/. I would need to explore the relative_url setting to see why it's not linking to the right folder. Have you try it locally to see if it does the same thing? For a stange reason Jekyll doesn't treat relative_url the same way locally (vs hosted on Github)

In the meantime, if you do need to use the theme, you can always use the theme as a remote theme (see the canada-ca-jekyll-boilerplate).

@delisma the local build works as expected.

@delisma is this a possible solution: jekyll/jekyll#332 (comment)

[jvanulde]

Got the splash page to function as expected by adding {{ site.baseurl }} in front of all relative internal links. In config.yml I set baseurl to my GitHub project name. To deploy locally I do bundle exec jekyll serve --baseurl '' so that I can browse the site prior to committing to GitHub pages.

Looks like this is fixed?
As of today (2021-02-17), on the https://wet-boew.github.io/gcweb-jekyll/ demo site,
clicking on either the English or French button works.
So, perhaps this issue can be closed? :-)

Thank you @anthonyfok but I will still monitor this issue until next week when the new update is completed.

Looks like this is hasn't been fixed for the language toggle (i.e. inc-languagetoggle.html). I tried using baseurl variable but it actually concatenates it twice.
