For i18n, you could consider a library for that like github.com/fnando/i18n-js and, during build time, create a static rendered html version for each language, just like you do with pdf version.

I personally decided to create a custom CMS-based solution because that can showcase my development skills on Github, such as backend development, some frontend, testing, etc, and still have an easy way to change data without having to create commits, PRs, etc on github. I was often letting changes to pile up before updating my website. I plan to have a printable version of the website, where instead of downloading a PDF version from it, you can just print the CV from any browser.

My code is in github.com/gmmcal/gmmcal.com.br

Thank you for your information!

Your website looks really cool!
As you pointed out, we can show our server-side skills as well as frontend skills, if we create our resume with CSM.

Some recruiters still demands PDF. Actually I don't maintain it recently, but when I start to look for jobs again, I will write some scripts to generate multi-language PDF.
Maybe I will use puppeteer now.

I liked a lot the idea of using chrome headless for PDF generation. When I get to the point of having a printable version of the website, I'll try to use that approach instead of uploading one to CMS :)
