  Is there a way for the readers of a blog to select the language of their choice when reading a wordpress.com blog? For example, I’d like to author my blog in English, but I want to provide my readers the ability select their language of choice when reading.

  Ideally, there would be a dropdownlist control on the main/home page populated with the various (supported) languages.

  Thanks TT … I saw your links previously, but I guess I skimmed those too fast. I’ve added a static page with your HTML code. Additionally, I added that translate button and linked it to my static page. That seems to work well-enough until WordPress.com builds us an official widget.
