Multiple languages on wordpress.com blog
-
Hello, I am trying to create an option on my wordpress blog so that viewers can change the language (ie a drop down box where the language can be changed). Is there a way this can be done with a wordpress.com site? I as looking at using WPML but I think this will only work with wordpress.org as it needs plugins.
My site is http://sixtyfiverosesblog.wordpress.com/ I would like it also be available in German, Spanish & Italian.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no such theme with a dropdown for language support here at WordPress.com.
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/

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/
