You should be able to enable GitHub pages and see the result:

![](cid:11902183-BB5C-4B6A-A1F0-ABB5D44ACB7E@w3.org "GitHub pages 
enabled in settings")

Your URL would then be 
https://notabene.github.io/wai-people-use-web/people-use-web/ (it always 
takes a few seconds until the changes are reflected).

Hm. We picked the names to be international and diverse, so I guess we 
don’t want a translation of the names. But let’s check with the 
planning team/EO before making firm decisions.

(If we decide on changing names in translation, we would want to have 
all anchors the same across translations to ease the burden on people 
translating other documents that link here.)

That should be fine.

The markdown engine that we use 
([Kramdown](https://kramdown.gettalong.org/quickref.html#inline-attributes)) 
has support for the hreflang attribute (and others) via the following 
syntax:

```
[Test](http://example.com){: hreflang="fr"}
```

I hope that helps :-)
