   I'm using WP multisite for presenting my site in 3 different languages (pl/en/de). Is it possible to access the same ngg gallery from all sites? The images presented on each language site are the same so there's no use to create the same galleries for each site.

   Hint #1 - don't bump your posts.

   Hint #2 - you need a NGG expert here. Ask the developer.

   Sorry for the bump. I'll know for the future not to bump.

   @Ipstenu, what do you mean by "ask the developer"?

   If anybody know how to access the same picture (no necessary from NGG gallery) from other sites within the same WPMU installation, the answer would also be helpful for me.

   She means ask the developer of the NextGen plugin.

   And your question has been asked a lot with no good answer.

   @Andrea_r thanks for the explanation.

   > your question has been asked a lot with no good answer.
   Does it mean that WPMU is not prepared for such case: one common place for storing pictures for all subsites?

   Yes and no.

   1) WordPress Multisite (not MU anymore) is intended to run multiple, separate, sites. Therefore it DOES NOT have a single repository for everyone's images. Each media library is per site by design.

   2) The NGG plugin would have to write something special to make THEIR gallery library (or whatever it is) work for all sites in one gallery.

   what ipstenu said.

   in other words, it's not built in, but a plugin *could* do it.

   Thank you @Ipstenu for your answer. Since now, I will remember to use the correct abbreviation when talking about WP multisite installation: "WP multisite" not "WPMU" (I've been mixing it up).

   I see the point: to run multiple, separate sites. But in case you use WP Multisite for switching languages, such common repo would be really useful, so I agree with you - the NGG plugin should have something to make it possible.

   Thanks again.

    I'd be more inclined to use http://wpml.org/ or something to remove the need for me to make multiple, identical, sites with the same content.

    Thank you @Ipstenu for the link. I haven't heard about WPML so far. It seems to be a really good plugin, I'd say - professional. I must definitely check it out. Then I could also say more about it, when I will see it in action - I mean, when I use it myself and for a live site.

    What is really good in using WP Multiste for making the site multilingual - you have all the power and are fully independent - you can even write alternative texts for images in a particular language (which is important for SEO). I doubt any plugin enables it.

    WPML claims to let you translate for yourself, which I THINK would cover that. I've never used it mind you :)
