This blog uses the WordPress blog platform. All articles are available in French and English, and the interface of the blog is fully translated.<\/p>\n

To do this, I use the qtranslate plugin<\/a>. It enables to write easily articles, tags and categories in multiple languages. Default WordPress widgets are also supported.<\/p>\n

The plugin modifies the administration of WordPress by adding a field for each language for articles, tags and categories. For the rest, you have to use a very simple tags system: [ lang_en]English text[ \/lang_en][ lang_fr]Texte fran\u00e7ais[ \/lang_fr]<\/code><\/p>\n

I use too on this blog many other plugins (for the widgets on the right for example). I had to slightly modify almost all plugins to support the languages tags system. You just need to add a call to the __()<\/code> function – used in WordPress to translate the interface using .mo files – to translate the strings before they are displayed using the languages tags system.<\/p>\n

To enable users to switch from a language to an other, the plugin provides a widget to display. I rather liked to add the links on the top right of the page by inserting <?php echo qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode('both'); ?><\/code> in the header of my template.<\/p>\n

Improvements<\/h3>\n

For now, qtranslate doesn’t provide any system to detect the user language. I added on my blog a message that shows below the header if there is a more adapted translation of the blog available for you.<\/p>\n
