Das Gengo
-Plugin für WordPress behauptet mehrsprachiges Bloggen zu unterstützen, was ich mit diesen vollends inhaltsleeren Post ausprobieren werde. In English und Deutsch. Wahnsinn.

The Gengo
-plugin for wordpress claims to support multilingual blogging, so I’ll give it a try with this utterly contentless post (which exists in english and german). Let’s see what happens!
5 Minutes later… There is no way to switch the current language in any human-compliant way. Gengo does come with two widgets, one displaying just a static list of available languages (wow.) and the other is supposed to (judging by the name) switch the displayed language, but due to major bugs in the JavaScript, it never works. And of course there is no fall-back to something non-scripty.
So I’ll keep up with my way of tagging the posts with their language code and some not very sophisticated magic in my custom theme to display some German messages, where appropriate.
On the non-fail side: another plugin/widget puts my currently listened-to albums somewhere (with JavaScript look at the top edge of the screen, without look at the bottom of the page). Yes, it’s really useless but I swear there won’t be anything like the mood
-descriptions or lolcats. Ever.
