Overview

Allows you to set the language of individual posts and pages and to summarize
them in other languages.

The excerpts are automatically inserted right before the post content, with the
correct language attribute. The correct language attribute is also set on the
post titles and original content.

If you were using this plugin prior to version 1.0 you will have to migrate
your posts and pages.

  1. Make sure your back-up your database
  2. Select the same 2 languages you were previously using in the “Site languages”
    option
  3. Press the “Migrate” button on the settings page

You might want to check my work on multilingualism online

We also welcome volunteers to translate that plugin into more languages. If you
wish to help then…
