  Hi!

  I`m a kind of traveller and I want to make my own blog. I want to write it in 2 languages (or 3.. ).
  I had a blog on wordpress.com for 3 years and then a break for 1 year.
  Here is a (i think) good plugin:
  https://ro.wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-x/

  Sorry, maybe this idea was already requested but…

  Same opinion! Please make qtranslate available for wordpress.com 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/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript

  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 create a page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ then and copy and paste the code on my Translations page here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/translation/ Be sure to 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/

  Sorry saying nothing for long time.

  After i posted that question, i started to look at other opinions about that subject. I found your (timethief) articles but is not as good as i and others search for (or ask). Im a guy who travel a lot, basically that's my life concept. Indeed im not good at english but i met people in Europa and Asia who really respect their own languages, and i respect their culture so, if i can write better than google translate or any other translator, why not to do that?

  I know, the security issue is a big problem, but they (WP.com) have a great it-security team and they have a good community where exist people who want to help. I think if they start now to make a project for that, they will finish in one year.

  Oke, enough for me, i said a lot but i have to say one more thing. I know people in east Europe and some parts of Asia who dont have money for host and things but they know two or three languages and have blogs here on wp.com and they want to translate it. To say what they have and do, to the entire world. And im sure thats not only in east europe and west asia. This world is big and have many people.

  Sorry for my english, this is not a language i learned in school.. is learned just by talking with different people.

  Hey,
  I just upgraded from free wordpress.com to the premium (99$/ year). I would like to install a plugin that allows me to create a dropdown menu for bilingual options (I am writing my blog posts in english and german). Is that not possible with my premium account?! :/
