  Fellow WordPressers,

  I have a wp.com site at http://scrumwell.com. Now I would like to translate and maintain some of the Pages and Articles also in Finnish language.

  What is the current best practice for maintaining two languages for a wp.com site? Just create duplicate pages and articles, translate them, and link them internally?

  Thanks!
  Lare

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes, what you describe is a popular solution.

  Other options include:
  – create a category for each language and then create a link to each category for each language
  – create a separate blog for each languages and then cross-link the two blogs (and individual entries, if you’d like)

  I hope this helps, let us know if you have more specific questions :)
