MoonBit Multi-Language CMS (moonbit-multilang-cms)

A high-performance, multi-language, full-stack Content Management System (CMS) built entirely in MoonBit using the moonback web server framework and the async runtime.

🚀 Features

Server-Side Rendering (SSR): Dynamic page generation with an adaptive CSS glassmorphic dark-theme UI.
Multi-Language Translation Engine (i18n): Fully native translation capabilities supporting fallback locales and simple dictionary lookups for English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese.
Multi-Language Mock Database: A memory-backed store loaded with multi-lingual seed articles, mimicking real-world CMS storage.
Automatic & Manual Locale Routing: Uses URL parameters (?lang=zh) and persistent browser cookies to detect, set, and switch language interfaces automatically.
Article Management Editor: Web interface and REST API endpoint (POST /api/articles) allowing users to create new articles in their selected language.

🛠️ Getting Started

Prerequisites

MoonBit Toolchain: Ensure moon CLI is installed (moonc v0.10.3 or later).
C Compiler (Optional): A system C compiler (like gcc, clang, or cl) is required for building native binaries and running native tests.

Build and Run

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/weidekais/moonbit-multilang-cms.git
cd moonbit-multilang-cms

Verify & Compile:
```
moon check
```
Run the Web Server (Native Target):
```
moon run cmd/main
```
The server will start listening at: http://127.0.0.1:3000

Running Tests

If a system C compiler is available, you can run tests natively:

moon test
