Overview

Just tag parts of your text to be in different languages, and a flag will appear next to the text and allows users to switch between them.

No other elements of the blog will be translated.

Use [:gb] to specify that the following text part is english, or use any other two char language code.
To use one text block in multiple languages use e.g. [:gb,de], which is handy for parts like images.
Write [:*] to use the block in all (within the text already known) languages.
