Multilingual WordPress done right.
This plugin is at a beta stage for translating:
- Posts
- Pages
- Custom post types
- Categories
- Tags
- Custom taxonomies.
It is powering a live site at http://freespeechdebate.com/.
The plugin was built with an aversion to both additional database tables, additional columns or column changes and a desire to keep additional queries to a minimum. The plugin is (in theory) compatible with WordPress.com VIP and was built with this platform in mind.

Installation is fairly standard:
- Upload the
babble
directory to the/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Ensure pretty permalinks are activated in Settings -> Permalinks, not sure how it will cope without these!
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- You'll now be prompted to set the languages you want, you can pick from any of the language packs you've got installed
- You'll notice the language switcher menu in the admin bar, use this to switch languages and (depending on context) to create new versions of the content you are looking at (from the front end) or editing (from the admin area)
Trigger a translation from the post edit screen

- ENHANCEMENT: Separation of admin language setting from the content language
- Various fixes and enhancements
gap of time while we add various things
- Taxonomy terms.
- Proof of concept concentrating on the translation of posts. Taxonomies and menus are not handled yet. Widgets are out of scope completely for this phase of work.
