  Can I have a language option on my posts? Or do I have to start a new blog if I want my posts both in French and English?

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

  We can only select one interface langauge for our blogs here > Settings > General
  But the good news is that when you create two blogs in different languages you can create custom links in a custom menu to inter-link the two in the top horizontal blog mennu where tabs to pages usually appear.

  The only other translation options we have are not great. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/02/14/translation-widget-for-wordpress-com-blogs/

  Hi dboiv,

  Not sure if this will help but personally I have somewhat started a bilingual blog for both English and Chinese, even when I selected English as my primary language setting. I am able to translate and type most things into Chinese yet things like “search” or the months under the calendar will be English. Though I just presume that most people would understand them as they are really basic English vocabs ;)

  Here’s what my blog looks like if you are curious:

  Hope this would give you some ideas if you only just one blog instead of two! Cheers~
