  HI
  I want to build 2 blogs, one in english and one in norwegian,. It’s the exact same blog, but in 2 languages. I wanted to use the theme:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/minimum/
  Do I need to buy it twice?

  (I will use the urls: lifestylejournalist.com / livsstilsjournalist.no)

  Is there a way to have the same blog duplicated? So i don’t have to set it up twice?
  Thank you!

  Hello there,
  A premium theme purchase only applies to a single blog so you will have to buy two for two blogs.

  We can set only one interface language for our WordPress.com blogs here > Settings > General

  You can have 2 blogs in 2 different languages, of course, but we have don’t support automatic translations between them. You’d need to write a blog post in the two languages and then post to each blog.

  Another approach is to to write a blog post in the two languages and then post the two versions of the entry on the same blog, make each language category, create a custom menu and add the categories pages to it.
