  Hello, I would like to have 2 languages of my site. I would like to have a language switcher. meaning that I do not want 2 language on same page. That there is a menu or widget option. When one click on it, the page automatically reloads all in the language that the viewer chose. In time of globalization and importance of maintaining language diversity, wordpress shd consider having this option. I will be posting all in 2 languages. I do not need translation.

  Thanks,
  Meng

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

  Automatic translation is not available to WordPress.com blogs. We bloggers do not have FTP access to blogs hosted by WordPress.COM 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.

  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/
