Blogging in two languages
-
Hi ,
I launched my blog in english, but i wonder how to translate the articles in french too.
Should i create another blog with same article in french ? ( tedious…)
Should I translate in french beneath each english paragraph? (tedious…)I feel that any other solutions is gonna be tedious :(
Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Somwher,
From what I can see WordPress.com does not support two languages at the same time. Creating another WordPress blog looks like your best option. That way you can set the language settings to French and users will have an easier time navigating the blog.
You can then link the blogs to each other so French visitors can find your French blog and vice versa.

Actually, you CAN use two languages at the same time as long as they use the same alphabet. In this case, you’d have to set the language of the blog to French, so you’d have access to all the accents. Then categorize the posts in English as “English” and the posts in French as “French” and use a custom menu to separate them out.
Translation IS tedious.

Re: bilingual and/or mutlilingual blogging
If you are bilingual or multilingual and want to publish your free hosted WordPress.com in two or more languages but do not want to rely on machine translation that can be done. You can have two or more blogs in different languages and interlink them via categories and custom menus. There’s also a workaround for publishing posts in two or more languages in the same blog. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/02/25/wordpress-com-multilingual-blogs/
