[...] In “International Standards and Languages”, I wrote: While the majority of web pages are in English, moves by the UN and other international groups are working hard to change that. As more and more people speaking a variety of languages gain access to the Internet, foreign language and international issues will become more and more critical to the web page designer.

I chose not to use that plugin as looked quite messy in my WP 1.5.2 - I’d have to edit the admin style sheet to organize the functions, and the optional excerpt is rather useless. I might end up fighting my way through some peaceful moments and code a plugin on my own - there must be time to do that in the next month!

There must be something that will help you with genearl multilingual blogging from the list above, and one plugin from the WordPress Plugins list, Basic Bilingual Plugin, is supposed to allow the ability to have more than one language on your WordPress blog.

I’m sure there are more out there. Let me know if you come up with a good solution.

Languages! Yes, I maintain my blog with two majoring languages, and once I’ve added spanish content, too.

I was already searching within the Plugin-Sites offered by the WP admin interface, but haven’t found a really useful tool for my problem. I actually want to separate my content depending on the language, or prefix a “EN” or “DE” lable on the post. However, I’d like to display all posts within one website.

Is there either a useful plugin for WordPress 1.5.2 or a trick to separate my entries between english and german? If so, do you know?

On the other hand, I could always add two new categories labelled “English Yadda” and “German Yadda” to differ between the languages, but that’d be a bully solution.
