WordPress and multilanguage plugin

By pcabido in blog No Comments Tags: , , , , ,

I’m still looking for a multilanguage or multiligual plugin for WordPress that fits my needs.

I’m looking for a plugin that lets me mark the posts as being of a certain language but also lets me translate posts or pages.
Finally the plugin needs to let a user filter the posts by language or see all.

qTranslate has almost all these features. It just misses the “show from all languages” as a filter. I will check again later for that but I’m almost sure that the feature is not there. Maybe with some minor hack…

Anyway, if any one knows a plugin that does what I’m looking for, please let me know!

New Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope

Yesterday the new Ubuntu was released. Its know as Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope.

I had the opportunity to test it yesterday. It looks greate and has some goode new features that I really apreciate but what impressed me allot was the boot time. It just flys to GDM.

Sadly it has some glitches with my Sony Vaio FW. Compiz goes slow with my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 and by default the brightness control does not work (needs a kernel patch).

I also had the sensation that the hole system was a little slow, slower than on 8.10.

So for me it’s back to 8.10.

Last monday I received the news that I was accepted in Google Summer of Code 2009. I will be working for the GNOME project on GTG.

The project is “Add Geolocalized tasks (geoclue, libchamplain) in Getting Things Gnome” and my mentor is Lionel Dricot.

Last year I developed a project for Sapo Summerbits that is similar to SoC. Now I have been given the opportunity to work with the best.
I’m also looking forwards to being a part of the GNOME community.

About these first days after knowing that I have been accepted I can tell you guys, the sensation is wonderful! I will keep you posted with the experience.

Lastly, the e-mail that made my day:

Dear Paulo,

Congratulations! Your proposal “Add Geolocalized tasks (geoclue, libchamplain) in Getting Things Gnome” as submitted to “GNOME” has been accepted for Google Summer of Code 2009. Over the next few days, we will add you to the private Google Summer of Code Student Discussion List. Over the next few weeks, we will send instructions to this list regarding turn in proof of enrollment, tax forms, etc.

Now that you’ve been accepted, please take the opportunity to speak with your mentors about plans for the Community Bonding Period: what documentation should you be reading, what version control system will you need to set up, etc., before start of coding begins on May 23rd.

Welcome to Google Summer of Code 2009! We look forward to having you with us.

With best regards,
The Google Summer of Code Program Administration Team
