Back to multilingual-brainstorming.
Examples of multilingual blogs
Multilingual blogs (or sites) spotted in the wild:
Full translations side-by-side
- merdeinfrance (tone may be offensive)
- emanuelle
- spiekermann
- 09h09
Fully translated blogs in one tool
- Kafka's Diaries (de/en)
One language per post, language varies
- Dangereuse Trilingue (no translations)
- qmpeople (available in 18 languages, UGCs are not translated)
- Technologies du Langage (translations for many posts in separate posts)
- jej (Polish in main column, English posts in sidebar)
- skriker (possibly some multilingual content via global language preference)
- Polinesia (defunct) Spanish/English/Portuguese
- Spanish to English (Spanish/English contents)
Mixed and other
- Climb to the Stars (all posts have other-language summaries)
- Serendipity/Diacritics (some posts in multiple versions, the rest with other-language summaries)
- ozh (some posts togglable by javascript)
Separate blogs
Not really a solution to the problem stated, more like a workaround
- 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/
