 * I would like the plugin to exclude languages, so german posts won’t appear for
   french readers and vice versa.
 * I use the WPML plugin for multilanguage support.
 * Any Idea?

 * Hi there,
 * Some time ago, the plugin used to work just nicely with WPML but it appears that
   at some point their API/code has changed, hence why you see all the languages
   on the listing.
 * I will check their documentation and update WordPress Popular Posts to correct
   the issue. No ETA though.

   That help? or these note from my developer:
 * >  Popular Posts plugin is not compatible with WPML. What makes it even worse
   > is that the plugin directly writes to and reads from the database instead of(
   > properly) using the WordPress API.
   > It is therefore impossible for me to make the plugin work correctly and you
   > will need to wait until the plugin author feels like implementing this “feature”.

 * Hi there,
 * I’m very curious about your developer’s comments and I’d love to know: what would
   be the _proper_ way to use the WordPress API? He seems to be -obviously- more
   knowledgeable so maybe he can share a few tips with us…
 * Anyways, the [people of WPML has already made me aware](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpml-compatible-1)
   of their [Go-Global program](http://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/go-global-program/).
   I may apply to the program sometime, I don’t know, whenever I _“feel like implementing
   this ‘feature'”_.
