 * The number of queries is something to watch. I just had to disable the plugin
   as the number of queries exploded from ca. 70 to more than 1100 per page, which
   is absolutely unacceptable for a busy site even when using caching.
 * See [http://forum.wpml.org/topic.php?id=2383](http://forum.wpml.org/topic.php?id=2383)
   for more about this.

 * Hi,
    I am the author of the thread you mentioned on wpml forums…I bought a paid
   support token, and Amir analyzed the log from debug queries, saing that it was
   a problem of their internal caching. It is going to get fixed in the next release
   🙂 cheers

 * I am now considering separate WP installations (only 2 languages) and link back
   and forth. Want to use the custom fields of WP to set the links. That way I should
   be able to achieve a similar implementation with a language switch if a translation
   of a post is available.

 * Yeah of course,
    The only thing which is really annoyng with this solution is
   that if, for example, you are managing a shop, you have to manage two separate
   order tables, two separate inventories ecc…

 * Hi harald & chickenrun,
    I’m also using only 2 languages so would you mind offering
   some advice? Right off the bat, this is my first and only WP site or site of 
   any kind. Not at all experienced but a fast learner. Would multisite be suitable
   for this? I’m not managing anything like a shop, just a (rather static) page (
   autismaarhus.dk) Harald, did separate installations work for you? Would it be
   advisable for a novice to steer clear of that option, or is it manageable without
   php/mysql knowledge? Thanks for any input you can offer, Julie

 * Hi jsac,
    I’m far from being a wordpress guru, but in my small experience, creating
   a double installation for managing a small site in two language is a little bit
   too much. Also the multisite option is not the best choice (well, not so complicated
   but still, not every hosting company gives support for multisite, eg. bluhost
   as far as i know).
 * IMHO, you can go with wpml, I think you’ll have no trouble using it for your 
   project.
 * cheers

    all the best, julie
