localization of the blog postings
-
hi,
I want to buy a commercial blog (professional or business, have a look at http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/) but I’m not sure whether it supports localization of the postings (it seems that it doesn’t). Am I able to write the content in german and english as well? Have my users the feature to choose the language too?
Thank you.
katiThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
The answer to your question is “no”.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/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascriptHowever, 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. -
Thank you!
Can you provide me with a live example which is using the custom menu workaround as described here (http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/02/25/wordpress-com-multilingual-blogs/) ?

I’m sorry but I can’t think of one off hand. I’m multitasking from work (where I’m the boss) and I don’t have the time to start searching for any.
