Multilingual UI – by visitor

  I see various multilingual-related plugins. They seem geared toward multi-user sites.

  In my case, many of my visitors are Japanese, and I was wondering if there was a way of offering a visitor a choice of which UI language they preferred, perhaps remembered in a session variable or cookie.

  Is there such a thing?

  Thanks,

  Afraid this is the best we can do if you don’t want to write two blogs: one in each language.

  Thanks for your response. That seems to be about content translation. I’m not interested in that really. What I’m interested in is each user being able to view the basic UI in their own language – but not modify the content of posts.

  Thanks,
