Open Script Solution

Today was the first time I used WordPress for building this website. I have been looking for a CMS that support for multi-language web content page. I need that each time my visitor read an article in full-mode and they choose one of the languages, then the content of that article will be translated to the new language.

Then after serveral hours surfing through the Internet, I found a WordPress plugins that has the ability to switch/translate the content of a page to the selected language. The plugins’ name is qTranslate that you can find from here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qtranslate/ . I downloaded qTranslate version 2.4.3 that compatible with WordPress version 2.8.4 or later.

Incredible! This plugins is really useful as I have been looking for. The most important thing that I like from this plugins is: user will become easier while creating a new article, since there was new tabs as many as the language that being enabled or used. Therefore, we can switch from one to another tab to translate to the new language only from one form.

Another advantage that you get when you use this plugins is: every post for all active languages will be saved in one record. Thus, this will keep your database size smaller, than if every post for each language will be saved in separate record.

But, it has small weakness, especially if you deactivate this plugins after you have some posts that added or updated with this multi-language feature. The tag as I mentioned above will be displayed since it was located in one field. Therefore, if you want to use or currently using this qTranslate plugins, please reconsider not to deactivate it after you have posts that made with this plugins. Except if you want to spend your time to edit the field contains of that separator tag in database.

Now, I am starting to use WordPress, and had fallen in love with it since I knew and found this qTranslate plugins.
