WordPress Multilingual

After this excellent suggestion from Georg, this site is now open for contributions from all and sundry. If you have something to share about multilingual blogging, the state of localisation technology, want to get something off your chest about Right to Left handling, or else just want to share your experiences, just register, login and go for it.

Gengo 0.9 is nearly here. This site is now running on WordPress 2.1.2 and Gengo 0.9 Release Candidate 3. Lots of bugfixes have gone in in the last couple of weeks. If you encounter any problems using this site, be sure to let me know and hopefully we can make 0.9 a bug-free as possible…

One known issue is that the language control in the sidebar doesn’t seem to be functioning at the moment. This will be fixed up in a final release. For the time being, you’re stuck with the ordering of languages that you’ve got… Sorry about that!

In the Dark Ages it used to be common practice to kill the bearer of bad news. That was long before WordPress and Gengo, and no translator on this site has to fear such consequences when being mistaken for the post author. Nonetheless, this distinction is still of some importance in collaborative blogs, I think.

I? Who’s that? If you’re lucky enough to be reading this post in English or German you can see my name right on top of this article. If not, chances are that the translator pretends to be the post author.

As of now, the site runs on the latest stable release of WordPress, version 2.0.7. So far, it seems like there are no problems with latest trunk code, which is a relief. Gengo 0.81 should be fully compatible when it is ready. As this is a security release, everybody is encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible. I’ve yet to test the stable Gengo 0.8 against 2.0.7. I don’t anticipate any problems, but if you find any, be sure to report them, either in comments here, or at the plugin support forum.
