As Promised, here is a little tutorial on how to create a blog with multiple languages without using any plugin.

First, you should create a network of blogs using following these instructions : http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Once you have your network set, just create a second / third blog with the proper sub urls. You can now share the same plugins, same wordpress installation, same theme with various languages.

What I usually do is have one main blog just as a placeholder, one with /fr base url and one with /en base url.

I still miss the functions to get links between posts but we could probably find plugins to do that :)

That was easy wasn’t it?

Next time I may talk about exporting zd_multilang content. I made a plugin for that but I still need to make some changes to make it work properly.

You may all have notices that there has been no recent activity on the blog or on the plugin itself. There are two reasons to this. The first one being that I don’t have anymore time to work on ZdMultilang.

The second reason is simply that with WordPress 3.0 you don’t need any plugin to get bilingual content.

This is why I made a new plugin to export ZdMultilang content to WordPress .xml format.

I will also make a short tutorial on how to create and manage a FULLY multilingual blog with WordPress 3.0 soon.

If anyone wants to fork or keep on maintaining the plugin, you are welcome to contact me.
