Developing a bilingual site using WordPress

Well, as you can see, there’s rather a nice little pair of flags to the right of this entry, which enable you to toggle between French and English. This feature comes thanks to the excellent qTranslate plugin for WordPress, which provides a reasonably comfortable framework for bilingual blogging. The install was straightforword, though it did introduce a little bug that temporarily trashed date formatting. The solution was easy to find: the qTranslate community are natural documenters it seems, and Google’s indexes had done their work.
A bilingual blog is more than twice the work, but it’s essential for the aspiring translator I think, and most educational.
