By far the best (easiest) way is to use the locale filter (inside get_locale()).
First set up a quick function for retrieving a different language to use on the locale filter.
/**
* A function returns with returns the user's selectd locale, if stored.
*/
function wpse35622_get_new_locale($locale=false){
$new_locale = ...

The best way is without plugin - i set WP3.0 with multisite; the first blog is a dummy to rewrite the uesers to right blog with his language, a small script in the theme to rewirte ro the right language; i see in the browser-language of the users and rewrite; the second is the default blog, the third blog is another blog and so on - olso it is possible to ...

I would like to recommend WPML, I use it on all of my bi/multi-lingual projects. It has great support and it makes WordPress truly multilingual, instead of only your content.
The latest addition is the media module, which takes care of the images you upload to Posts and Pages. No need anymore to upload them for each language separately, the plugin now ...

I got it now , After searched many resources :
function lang_support() {
return array('en','fr'); // Add your support lang-code (1st place is a default)
}
function rewrite_lang(){
$langs = lang_support();
foreach($langs as $lang) {
add_rewrite_endpoint($lang,EP_PERMALINK|EP_PAGES|EP_ROOT|EP_CATEGORIES);
}

I use on the root site a small theme for redirect to the languages. A very small theme for locate the language of the users and redirect to the blog of this language.
<?php
// Browsersprache ermitteln
function lang_get_from_browser($allowed_languages, $default_language, $lang_variable = NULL, $strict_mode = TRUE) {
// $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] ...

You must use the qTranslate native functions to do your job. Use qtrans_use, that is the function that do all the job in qTranslate. It's defined in qtranslate_core.php, line 747
function qtrans_use($lang, $text, $show_available=false)
Use it on the raw content of the post!
Try this code:
<?php
$id=47; $post = get_page($id);
$content = ...

In wp-includes/l10n.php you will find the function get_locale(). It offers a filter; you can set the language and ignore the constant:
function get_locale() {
global $locale;
if ( isset( $locale ) )
return apply_filters( 'locale', $locale );
// WPLANG is defined in wp-config.
if ( defined( 'WPLANG' ) )
$locale = WPLANG;

First, read this Codex page about translating WordPress.
You have to create a language file to put into your language directory, do this by following the next steps:
I assume you want to use poedit since you talk about a .po file
download poedit
File > new catalog
In the first tab, fill in the fields, the most important ones are
Language, in your case: ...

I ended up having to manually detect the language, here's how I solved it:
<?php if (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == 'fr')
{
// display the menu en francais
wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'Navigation principale', 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'menu_id' => 'menu-primary-navigation' ) ); ...

I've built several multilingual sites in WordPress, and to be honest, WP just doesn't do it very well, even using plugins. Either plugins offer limited solutions that require a lot of work on the end-users' part, or they only offer limited languages. (Note that I'm ignoring plugins that offer automatic machine translations.)
The best solution I've found so ...

_e() will translate the text passed as a argument to the language your site is currently set up to use (if the translation exists).
Anyway, don't do that. Use it for text visible on the website, not for IDs/classes etc. To create context based css rules, simply add the WPML language ID as a body class:
add_filter('body_class', 'wpml_body_class');
function ...

I'd look into qTranslate. I haven't ever used it, but it's the only free alternative to WPML that I've ever seen.
That being said, I'd suggest you just pony up the $30-80 for WPML. It's by far the best-maintained and cleanest multilingual plugin you can get and it's absolutely dirt cheap, considering what you get. And with their (very reasonable) pricing ...

So far the best plugin that I have tested to order pages by language is CMS Tree Page View.
It allows you to select the language in which to order pages. Ordering is done in a drag and drop tree view.

I have used qTranslate as well with success and seen it implemented in couple of blogs.
but the problem with using any of the 2 plugins is that with the wordpress updates, you have to wait for the new releases of plugins versions then update.
With other plugins, like a contact form, rating system or stuff like this , you can disable them temporary, find ...

You have to replace the call to BBpress’ language file.
A good place to do this is a language specific file in your general languages directory. For Turkish it would probably be a file named tr_TR.php. This will be loaded automatically and only if it matches the language of your blog. It will not be overwritten.
BBPress doesn’t use the function ...

it's the URL encoded version of your text.
<?php
echo urldecode('%d7%90%d7%90%d7%90');
?>
outputs:
אאא
post_name is the slug, so the characters have to be URL-safe.

Ok, finally got to the core of WP Native Dashboard basic concept and it's working now.
The file is being used as a mu-plugin, and whenever I have to work in the site I rename it from set-user-locale.phpa to set-user-locale.php, and then back again. Thus activating and deactivating without the plugin being on the client's sight.

This will need to go in a plug-in, just put the following inside a file (login-languge.php) in wp-content/plugins/

When user starts typing something into tag input, JavaScript makes request to admin-ajax.php with action set to ajax-tag-search to receive list of suggestions (if any).
In that file that action is recognized as belonging to core and wp_ajax_tag_search() function is added to dynamically generated wp_ajax_ajax-tag-search hook, which fires almost immediately ...

"All procedures" is not very descriptive. :)
Are you calling load_plugin_textdomain() function? Had you set domain in your plugin's strings?
There is also relevant section here: I18n for theme and plugin developers

Wordpress has no bi/multi-language feature built in by default. Instead, by design it supports the content to be in one language (so not knowing language). Using multiple blogs for multiple languages might be a good adoption of that design.
The other road would be to extend the site with Add-Ons like plugins and themes that have multi-language features ...

Looks like you may not be able to just add a pair to your .po file, without first adding it to the wordpress.pot file: http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#gettext_files. You'll also need to compile your .po file into a .mo (Machine Object) file in order for your changes to take effect.
I'm not certain that will work, but it should be a good ...

Good question. I was able to make the whole admin RTL with a little plugin (I wrote it as a must-use plugin, but should work in the in the standard plugin folder as well). It's a very simple version, see the output here:
This is the plugin code (my file-name: rtl-admin.php):
<?php
/**
* RTL Admin Wordpress Plugin

If your just looking for a way for your site to be viewed in other languages I would defiantly recommend using Google Translate Tools. I just add it to the theme:
<div id="google_translate_element"><span id="trans">Translate: </span></div>
You can hide the Google Logo and funky colors in your css:
.goog-logo-link{display:none;}

No, wordpress.com does not support multilanguage blogs. The solution would be to make one blog per language and link them via the sidebar.
Reference: Multi-language blog on wordpress.com

There are a number of good multilingual plugin but what your asking for is very specific and unique.
I would find one that translates the language into a easily customizable format ( Like a post) where you can use a div for outputting a diff color.
For instance wrap the translation in div .spanish {color:red}

WPLANG effects the whole site not just the admin section, you can use it in conjunction with WPML. It basically sets what language you have translations for but you must include a languages folder inside wp-include with the appropriate .mo and .po files.
You can also set WPML to use the default languages directory ( which is set up by defining the ...

You will need to use the function load_child_theme_textdomain.

Thanks for that mike23, was a lifesaver for me today. However that exact code didn't work for me, I did have to do some modifications in order to get it to work in my situation which may be due to a newer version of the WPML plugin.
I had to change:
$original_ID = icl_object_id( $post->ID, 'post', false, 'en' );
to:
$original_ID = icl_object_id( ...

Let's say the original language of your site is english, then when visiting a german post you would return the title of the corresponding english post like that :
// Get the post ID of original post
$original_ID = icl_object_id( $post->ID, 'post', false, 'en' );
// Get original post title
$original_title = get_the_title( $original_ID );
Hope that ...
