Quarto: Facilities for multiple **natural** languages/translation?

Question

In the context of setting up a homepage using Quarto, I am failing to find facilities and/or experiences doing so with multiple natural target languages.

I'm trying to achieve two versions of the same content (in my case one in English, one in German) within an identical navigational structure and a language name link to switch between them ...

Is this beyond the scope of Quarto? If not: how might this be achieved?

Thanks for any pointers.

Newer version of Quarto 1.2 available as pre-release (as of 09/2022) has a feature that should allow this more easily

This is the feature to use when looking to create a multi language book
