Publishing content in several formats
A translation and an audio edition belong to the same work. Each still needs its own place.
KIKOLAUS is where I publish literary and philosophical work. In “The Habitable Future”, for example, an essay and a graphic novel approach the same questions through different forms.
The question
A text can be read, listened to or explored in another language. These editions share a common reference, while each needs to be maintained and found individually.
I wanted to add editions without rebuilding the website each time. Their relationships therefore need to be described in the editorial system and made visible in navigation.
My work
I aligned the content model, Notion editorial workspace and website. The work provides the common reference; texts and media are assigned to the relevant language edition.
Reusable components for text, audio and multilingual pages build on that structure. The website shows the available editions and lets readers move between them. New content can be added within the same editorial structure.

Assignment and outputs
For a publication or knowledge site, I develop a content model and website suited to its languages and media. I set up the editorial workspace so the team can maintain the content themselves.
You receive a working website connected to the editorial workspace, presentation components and a documented publishing process. Together, we use an actual piece of content to check how maintenance, new editions and publication work together.
