Will `_bookdown.yml` work in `blogdown` the same as `bookdown`?

Question

I want to change the label of table and figures to another language (e.g., Chinese, and change Figure 1.1 to 图1.1). I found that, if I create a _bookdown.yml file with the following content:

language:
  label:
    fig: '图'
    tab: '表'

and put the file under the same directory of the posts, it works.

But if I have many Sections, or nested Sections, and I definitely want to add only one _bookdown.yml file in the content/ folder only. For the subfolders would be included, the content of the _bookdown.yml should be:

language:
  label:
    fig: '图'
    tab: '表'
rmd_subdir: true

Unfornately, it does not work. Do my friends here know of any workaround solutions?

In reference to this question and my own experiences, it can be affirmed that each section (directory) of post files should have a separate _bookdown.yml to make the configurations take effect.
