About this plugin
Bogo is a straight-forward multilingual plugin for WordPress.
The core of WordPress itself has the built-in localization capability so you can use the dashboard and theme in one language other than English. Bogo expands this capability to let you easily build a multilingual blog on a single WordPress install.
Here are some technical details for those interested. Bogo plugin assigns one language per post. It plays nice with WordPress – Bogo does not create any additional custom table on your database, unlike some other plugins in this category.
This design makes Bogo a solid, reliable and conflict-free multilingual plugin.
Getting started with Bogo
