I recently came across a wordpress plugin called WPML. It allows a blog to switch among different languages, tranforming the blog into a multilingual blog. WPML provides direct translation of blog posts. It displays the blog posts in the corresponding languages according to the visiters’ preference. The translation, however, is not done by any online translators which tend to produce confusing and unreadable translation. In stead, it requires the blogger to manually create the posts in the designated languages and then group these posts togother.

This blog currently supports English and Chinese, while English is the default language. However, everything in the theme still appears untranslated regardless what language setting you will choose. This will be fixed shortly, it’s just a matter of time.
