Back to multilingual-brainstorming.
Examples of multilingual blogs
Multilingual blogs (or sites) spotted in the wild:
- Climb to the Stars
- Serendipity/Diacritics
- Dangereuse Trilingue
- Franz Kafka's diaries (de/en)
- Technologies du Langage (many posts translated rather faithfully in English)
Parallel blogs (not really a solution to the problem stated, more like a workaround)
- Hoder Derakhshan: English and Persian
- Dave: French, English, and Japanese (different content)
- Loïc Le Meur: French and English
- Céline Graciet: www.nakedtranslations.com/en/ (English) and www.nakedtranslations.com/fr/ (French) - a freelance translator's blog: identical content, but separate comment threads.
Parallel (everything translated one-to-one and side-by-side)
