    Hello,
    I was working in a two-language blog. I tried the option with the menu and the static page but I dont like very much. Actually, I want the home page to look like a blog.
    I saw the other option: create two blogs and then include a link. I need help. With the premium wordpress can I do that? With the same name and url? How?

    Any comment is highly appreciated!

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

    There is no upgrade that changes the situation at all.

    You can blog in two languages on the same blog and create two different language categories that you assign to your posts.

    There are no multilingual themes. You can set only one interface language here > Settings > General. There is no FTP access to our free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot install plugins. We cannot use Microsoft or Google translation widgets or any other JavaScript widgets, as the code is 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.

    Re: bilingual blogging and/or mutlilingual blogging

    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. You can have two or more blogs in different languages and interlink them via categories and custom menus. There’s also a workaround for publishing posts in two or more languages in the same blog. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/02/25/wordpress-com-multilingual-blogs/

    Thank you very much for your time and help. The thing is I do not need a translator, just to have the blog in English and click in a little Spanish flag and get the same blog in Spanish, made and written by me.
    I think I will choose the idea of having two blogs and link one with the other but i guess i have to spend another 24$ to design the other exactly the same.
    If I have known this before, i would never choose wordpress.com :(
    I hope wordpress.com fix this soon.

    Thank you very much for your help!
