    Hi, this plugin is fantastic!

    There’s just one thing I haven’t found out: how can I change the language for a post or a section of text? The example site is mainly in German, but there’s more and more international customers coming, so there will be posts containing two languages or posts entirely in another language, while the old posts still exist.

    The second case that actually happened several times now was: I want to quote English text on a German page. How do I do that?

    Help is greatly appreciated!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    If you are using a multilingual plugin, so that the locale is adjusted depending on the post language, then yes, that will work (if you enable “Multilingual support” in the settings). However, there is no way to adjust the language based on HTML lang attributes (which would be needed multiple languages within a single post) at this time.

    Thank you! You put me on the track with the multilingual plugins, though my plan was more like “transitioning” the page slowly to English, not translating everything. Still, thank you! Very much appreciated!

    (I still think sectional language change would be cool!)

    I agree it would be a great feature, but it is also much more complicated to implement correctly. It’s on my to-do list for the underlying library, but not a very high priority at the moment.
