Conversationblog

Andy Hoppe, part of the web team at the World Health Organisation and one of the attendees of my recent workshop on blogging and RSS in Geneva just wrote a reference of my work there... I don't like to brag but in this case I have to point you to what he wrote on iKarma, my reputation tracker.

Andy recently started to set up his own blog (don't have his URL yet) on Wordpress and pointed out an interesting "issue" that we, European bloggers face... how to manage a multi-lingual blog ?

Let's say you post on your blog in different languages. In Andy's case that would be English and German (and maybe French later). How do you manage this ?

Would you create separate feeds for each language ? What would be your home page default language ? Would you use a splash page so people first pick their language and then continue to your blog ?

I'll do some research and try to find good examples but if you know of some multi-lingual blogs that work, please let me know.
