Sometimes, when a friend needs technical help or a good tip and I wrote about it, then I advise them to read the appropriate article. But the answer often is:

Hey, your blog is English and I do not understand any word.

It also happens more often, that an article got commented in a language that I do not understand and even can not read because of non-latin letters.

I really tried some WordPress-plugins to make by blog multilingual, but that all did not satisfy me. First of all, I could only provide German and English texts. Secondly it takes so much time, to write everything twice.

Today I found the Google AJAX Translation plugin which is now implemented here with some modifications. As you can see, every article, page and even the comments have now a “Translate” button. Click it, select the language and the content will be replaced instantly with a translation and without reloading the whole page.

Hopefully you like it and the communication barrier is gone!
