  Hi!
  I would like to ask about how can I add the option to view pages in other languages to my blog.
  Do I need to translate the texts myself or is there an app to do that?
  Currently the blog is displayed in greek and I wish to add english as another language.
  Thank you!
  M.R.

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

  Hi there,
  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 see here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/02/25/wordpress-com-multilingual-blogs/

  If that’s not the case and you do want to provide machine translation then note what follows. 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.
