Multilingual blogging revisited

Cross-Cultural Communication skills is a relatively new term, referring to the ability to recognize cultural differences and similarities when dealing with someone from another culture and ability to recognize features of own behavior which are affected by culture.

Earlier I’ve posted about the multilingual efforts for blogging with WordPress. Although the demand is out there not much happened since.

Last month, however, the 0.7 version of a great new plugin was released for multilingual bloggers. It’s called Gengo and you can download it from Jamie Talbot’s website.
Here is its description from the author’s site:

Gengo is a full featured plugin that provides multi-language blogging for WordPress. It allows for an unlimited number of translations and summaries for any post and provides template tags to display language information. It automatically generates semantic information for links and content blocks and is configurable via an options page.

It is a very promising new tool - and it already has its own localized versions, too.
