    I’m quite a beginner on these things and don’t know much about PHP and so yet. I really don’t get the talk about converting .po files to .mo and such, and what actual code I shall use in my templates to make this work well. I’ve tried a bit, but all I managed was to put a flag near the title (and the post itself didn’t even get translated when I pressed it, so it didn’t make anything much better).
    Can anyone please tell me a bit more clearly what code is needed in my templates and if I need to upload files?

    The Polyglot plugin will not translate your post. It is not meant to do that. It is for those who post in more than one languages – eventually the same post. But the translation has to be done by you!
    If you want an automatic translation of your posts, try this

    I know the translation will have to be done by me, and that’s what I’m aiming for too. Automatic translation isn’t very nice.

    On the plugins site there quite a detailed instructions how to use it.
    Yes, you’ll need the .mo file for the language you want to use (besides English). Don’t worry about the converting .po into .mo – just get the .mo file, that’s all you need.
    About where to put your languages files without the plugin, see WordPress_in_Your_Language.

    For the plugin to work, you need the plugin uploaded and activated and the language file(s). Then put the code as per the instructions in
    a) your template(s)
    b) your posts

    Ok, it was slightly helpful at least, thanks. I wasn’t really clear anyway, but I asked the author and got it working. You must be the fastest replier around here 🙂
