Abele: /* One language per post, language varies */

Back to [[multilingual-brainstorming]].

== Examples of multilingual blogs ==

Multilingual blogs (or sites) spotted in the wild:

==== Full translations side-by-side ====
* [http://merdeinfrance.blogspot.com/ merdeinfrance] (tone may be offensive)
* [http://emmanuelle.net/ emanuelle]
* [http://www.spiekermann.com/iblog/index.html spiekermann]
* [http://www.09h09.com/ 09h09]

==== Fully translated blogs in one tool ====
* [http://www.metameat.net/kafka/index.php Kafka's Diaries] (de/en)

==== One language per post, language varies ====
* [http://dangereusetrilingue.net/ Dangereuse Trilingue] (no translations)
* [http://www.qmpeople.com/ qmpeople] (available in 18 languages, UGCs are not translated)
* [http://aixtal.blogspot.com/ Technologies du Langage] (translations for many posts in separate posts)
* [http://web.archive.org/web/20050206173408/http://jej.notatnik.net/ jej] (Polish in main column, English posts in sidebar)
* [http://fredfred.net/skriker/ skriker] (possibly some multilingual content via global language preference)
* [http://web.archive.org/web/20021127224759/http://polinesia.blogalia.com/ Polinesia] (defunct) Spanish/English/Portuguese
* [https://spanishto-english.com/ Spanish to English] (Spanish/English contents)

==== Mixed and other ====

* [http://climbtothestars.org/ Climb to the Stars] (all posts have other-language summaries)
* [http://serendipity.lascribe.net/ Serendipity/Diacritics] (some posts in multiple versions, the rest with other-language summaries)
* [http://frenchfragfactory.net/ozh ozh] (some posts togglable by javascript)

==== Separate blogs ====

Not really a solution to the problem stated, more like a workaround

* [http://hoder.com/ Hoder Derakhshan]
* http://www.nakedtranslations.com/en/ and http://www.nakedtranslations.com/fr/ (a freelance translator's blog: identical content, but separate comment threads)
* http://www.heartsnatcher.com/ and http://unknowngenius.com/blog/ (different content)
* http://loiclemeur.com/france/ and http://loiclemeur.com/
