Setup multi languages wordpress

Question

I need to setup a blog using wordpress engine but i need it support multi languages (3 languages), currently i am thinking of using custom field to identify the language of current post though i knew thats not a best practices, does anyone has better suggestions?

Answer 1

I have used the xlanguage plugin and I am happy with it. xlanguage site

Answer 2

I've tested 2 plugins that both looked very promising: qTranslate and Gengo

qTranslate works by adding inputs for all used languages for each post, Gengo used separate posts and links them in a "post Y is a translation of post X" way, which I preferred much (because it allowed me to not translate everything) and it worked fine for me.

Answer 3

Thanks, i am going to look at 'em further more before deciding which one will i run with, at the first sight gengo looks good.

Answer 4

I fi i remember well, wordpress uses a gettext "customization" library to translate itself. I think you can make some options based on a session variable, about the translation files you're going to read.
