If you are struggling with sub/addon domain settings for your multilanguage site, or hate the fact that you have to duplicate and edit every single page/post, and are probably not getting any support from anyone,… then drop everything you are doing and download Falang. You’ll be sorted for life.

Congratulations to the developer of this plugin! I spent 2 days testing the demo versions of the main competitors but only half a day on the actual translation once I’d selected falang.Extreme simplicity is the key word. I prefer to translate by myself and didn’t need the translation interface which it can prove very useful if you don’t master the target language.The support provided by the developer was extremely responsive and helpful in sorting out the integration with the theme used.Once again, bravo and congratulations for this extension, which I highly recommend.
