 * Hello
 * I am in need of creating a multi-language site but I can’t seem to find what 
   I am looking for. Either I stumble upon automatic translators or just some sort
   of fancy flag switches which are just switches which require some additional 
   plugins and so on. Can’t this be made simple?
 * Some general info:
 * 1. I speak fluently in all the languages I need, so no need for (often clumsy)
   translator.
    2. I know how to create a multisite WordPress install.
 * Is there a theme or a plugin which creates identical posts simultaneously? So
   let’s assume I type in the English WordPress ‘site’. The exact post in English,
   together with photos also appears in the Spanish version. Then I just replace
   the English text with the Spanish text without the need to change image links
   or upload duplicate images to the media library etc.
 * I would like a language selector in the header area and not footer or widget 
   as I might use some full-width template which has no side widgets.
 * I think this idea is simple and straightforward but I can’t seem to find a solution.
   You know, I need to make sure the layout is exactly the same so whenever I change
   an image or add a page I want this to be reflected in all versions of the website(
   all WP sites). I just need to have the further ability to edit the content…
 * Thanks.
