 * Is there a multi-language support built into WordPress?
    Some resource-files 
   that I can translate myself? Although this might have been discussed here before,
   I didn´t find anything regarding internationalization via search. Thanks in 
   advance, Elmar

 * Thanks 😉
    Somehow I can´t figure out whats really going on now. I saw some “
   we are working on this” etc. (2003) but I still don´t know, if there is a central
   String file for translation or not. It is not a hard thing to do, so I just wonder
   if you should take on this task an internationalize WordPress or if a porper 
   system is included in the latest beta. Elmar

 * Look at the Localization page on Wiki:

 * now my question is how to have 2 or more interfaces in different languages.
    
   i tried to install two copies of wordpress linked to the same database. one copy
   is localized using the proper *.mo file. the main index page looks fine. but 
   all the links on that page are linked to the “main” language copy. by “main language
   copy” i mean the language i set when installing the wordpress. it seems to me
   all the links are absolute, instead of relative. any workaround for this?

 * OK, here is my question:
    Do you really want two copies of WP, or you just want
   to be able to switch from one language to another? For this latter case take 
   a look at the Language Picker plugin: [http://noprerequisite.com/language_picker/](http://noprerequisite.com/language_picker/)

 * cool. i suppose this is what i want, apart from i might not able to keep multiple
   copies of the same post in different languages and i’ll let the visitors see 
   all posts, regardless of the language they choose. they can just skip those articles
   they don’t understand. i guess i can fool the language_picker on this.
    thanks!

 * I search a language switcher for wordpress 1.5, or a multilingual blog like b2evolution.
   net!
 * Exists a WordPress Plugin for that?

 * gh3, I understand you want to publicize your plugin but digging out year old 
   posts is not a good idea.
    (Moderators tend to get angry at multiple posting!)
 * You made your own post about it:

   that should be enough!
