 * Hello everyone.
 * I have a question about WordPress Roadmap and one of the feature: native Multilanguage
   support.
 * As mentioned in [Roadmap 2022](https://wordpress.org/about/roadmap/) the fourth
   phase of Gutenberg will be “Multi-lingual — Core implementation for Multi-lingual
   sites”.
 * Is there more details about this? Will be this feature ready this year or maybe
   there is approximate dates? Any info will be helpful.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-native-multilanguage-feature%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * WordPress 6.0 and probably 6.1 is where WP is sort of wrapping up Phase 2 (though,
   work will continue in that area). Moving forward, we should start seeing a shift
   toward some of Phase 3, and I expect the bulk of that to happen in 2023. It won’t
   be until that winds down until we really get into the multi-language support 
   for Phase 4.
 * I’m not sure if there is a good outline for what that will look like because 
   it’s still sometime in the future.
 * It’s possible that we might see some Phase 4 work in 2023, but that will entirely
   depend on how the previous phases unfold. My best guess is that 2024 would be
   when we’ll see a push toward multi-lingual support. But, that’s just a guess 
   at this point.

 * Thank you for answer, Justin. You really help to make plans for some future projects,
   where multi-language support needed.
 * Hope native multi-language and Phase 4 will come without serious delays, as in
   many countries this is something that needed by default.

 * This would be a nice feature, but so would be having social sharing buttons, 
   schema.org markup or better SEO data handling. Features like this that extend
   the functionality of WordPress is the reason the plugin ecosystem exist in the
   first place. In my opinion, the huge market share of WordPress is directly related
   to the extendable nature of WordPress.
 * Having said all that, the fourth phase of “Core implementation for Multi-lingual
   sites” sounds interesting. I had an idea (when we had a separate forum called
   Ideas on w.org) that more features should turn into plugins or at least “modules”
   that could be enabled or disabled (like posting over email, comments system and
   another old feature called “Press This” that was taken out of core and converted
   into a plugin a few years ago).

 * I read before about WP core ML plans but the info by Justin Tadlock is indeed
   helpful for upcoming projects despite I would have hoped to already adopt core
   ML next year.

 * I had a look at the Roadmap:
 * > “Currently, work is being completed on Phase 2 of the Gutenberg project, and
   > Phase 3 (Collaboration) is starting in 2023.”
 * So hopefully Customization and Collaboration will progress in 2023 to a point
   that Phase 4 ML Core implementation will be on the horizon for 2024. I think 
   that will be a major leap for WP giving the possibility to run a site (almost)
   with no plugins based mainly on core functions.
