I think it might be easier to format and translate without using "by" since different languages express authorship differently
For example:
• Last updated on 2025-10-11 • Jane Doe
• Last updated on 2025-10-11 — Jane Doe

What about a mix?
For the languages that can handle it, add a translation. For the other ones, just add • or — as the default and show it when no translation is available:
| {{- $by := (T "by") | default "by" -}} | |
| {{- $by := (T "by") | default "•" -}} |
WDYT?

yeah, that sounds good.
ideally this should be templated, but we don't have to do it right now

Sorry for the delay, finally I left the dot because for languages without translation, it was using English as the default, and not the default string as I suggested.

Description
Using the git info that the app already uses to show the last modified date, I have added the last person that modified the page also. This is very util for us when checking who to ask for information about that part of our documentation
How to use it
To activate the feature, I have added a new flag called
displayUpdatedAuthorNOTE: I just translated the languages that I know, I might need some help to translate the by in the phrase: Last updated on {{date}} by {{author}}
Thanks for the great work with this template!
