 * Hello, I’m working with this plugin (Multisite Language Switcher) and wondering
   if there is a trick to get the theme shared between sites. I’ve enabled the network
   theme but no styles or images are coming through. I’ve installed the Shared Network
   Media plugin but that’s only if you are uploading a new image within a page or
   post, the option of inserting an image from another site is offered. Would you
   need to have child themes then for each site? and separately add the images in
   those theme files again? So if anything changes, you’d need to change it on every
   language site you have setup?
 * Also, with this plugin and the multisite enabled, it looks like I need to setup
   all pages and specific plugins (like Nivo Slider) unique to that site. I cannot
   share those settings and configurations (like the Nivo Slider) because they are
   their own site with separate content and elements?
 * I was thinking of using this plugin because we just need a language switcher 
   and the only thing that will change will be the language of the content, menus
   and other text within the site but this isn’t quite how it works, is that correct?

 * Content, media files and options are unique for every site in a multisite. It
   is correct that the plugin “Shared Network Media” can help you with the media
   files a little bit. The Multisite Language Switcher just helps you to connect
   the various contents (pages, posts, custom post types and all kind of taxonomies).

 * Thanks Dennis. One other question. With Multisite, I need to recreate each page
   in each site within multisite correct? And if we are using Nivo Slider, I would
   need to setup Nivo separately on each multisite site.

 * Yes, but you could also decide that you not create each page. And yes, you have
   to setup the slider in every site (one time I think, right?)…
