  Hi. I’d like people non-English speakers to be able to translate my blog into the language of their country. I have a free theme. Is it possible to do this? If so, how? Thanks. Evangeline.

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

  Yes. You can set only one interface languages at > Dashboard > Settings > General.

  We do not have FTP access and we bloggers cannot install any plugins, we cannot use Microsoft or Google translation widgets or any others, as they are JavaScript and it’s stripped out to preserve security on this multiuser blogging platform. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  However, I have translation on my WordPress.com blogs. There are two workarounds and you will find them here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/02/14/translation-widget-for-wordpress-com-blogs/
  Note: You can copy and paste the code on my Translations page and then replace every occurrence of my blog’s URL in the code with your own blog’s URL.

  Many thanks timethief. You sound like a genius on this topic. I can do the actual writing. It’s the IT I find hard!
