We also welcome volunteers to translate that plugin into more languages.

My approach is to keep it simple and minimal, so that it works. I've been blogging bilingually since 2000, using [the method this plugin reproduces](http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2004/07/11/multilingual-weblog/) since 2004. Translating everything is just too hard. Giving a brief summary allows people who don't understand the language you're writing the post well enough to at least know what it's about. See [my work on multilingualism online](http://climbtothestars.org/focus/multilingual) for more explanations. = Some of my excerpts are disappearing, help! = This is a problem up to version 0.3, sorry. See [Mark's explanation](http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2007/01/28/authorization-and-intentionorigination-verification-when-using-the-edit_post-hook/) and download 0.31, which should work. = Is the plugin working with cache plugins? = Yes, unless you are using the "Use Language-Accept header" option. In that case you'll need to use the template tags and enclose them between `mfunc` tags (see you cache plugin's documentation about how to use those tags). == Screenshots == 1.
