Installation
This plugin is tested on v2.3.
- Download the zip file and extract into /wp-content/plugins/
- In the Admin control panel, goes to the “Plugins” page and activate the “xLanguage” plugin.
- Configure the plugin under the “Options” page.
- Start blogging with the multi-langual functionalities!
First, you have to configure which language are available to the users, and defining the properties of the language. A complex arrangement is allowed which is very useful if one of the language is “overlapped” with another.
Then, you can start blogging with the xLanguage toolbar provided which can help you to specify which paragraphs in the post belong to which language. In addition, you may want customized the name of the categories and tags to specified languages.
Also, put the xLanguage widget up so the users are allowed to switch language as needed.
When a user finally comes to your blog, the plugin will determine the most favorable language from his browser preferences. The content shown will have the correct part extracted. His choice of language will also be saved to cookie. Permalinks will also be modified to include the language information.
Notice
If you hit the following error message after installation:
can not redeclare class xLanugagePlugin on line 996 in xlanguage.php
Resetting the xLanguage configuration would help. To do that, please go to “Settings -> xLanguage -> Options” in the Admin control panel, Scroll to the very bottom and reset it.
This is a known problem but I can never reproduce this so have no idea how to fix it. Any volunteer in helping me is very welcome!

Hi,
I’m having trouble with getting the static front page link in the navbar to translate. When I turn off the option the page and the link in the navbar translates fine, but when i turn on static front page, it just shows Home.
Please help, I’m not very good at this
Here’s the code responsible:
<li id="home" class="page_item"><a title="Home" href="">Home
