Question 1 : this red message is a warning, have you click the button on bottom right of the metabox ?
Question 2 : CSS is not automatically generated, If you read xl-style.css, you can see instructions how to customize this file after creating a clone inside your theme folder as in twentytwelve-xili theme example.
Good works !

In reply to: How to localize CategoriesIf you use xili-language plugin, you must use xili-dictionary (or a text editor and poEdit) to create in theme lang sub-folder, a local-xx_XX .mo file (local-fr_FR.mo for french by example) containing local terms translation as category titles or descriptions or other terms (title of widget, option) which are specific of your website – see http://wiki.xiligroup.org for more information.
It is a little technical, but xili-language uses po and mo files to contain translation without using new tables in WP DB.

In reply to: using rtl and ltr style on the same siteFirst: you need a compatible theme like twentyeleven or twentytwelve with rtl.css file aside style.css
Second : the theme languages folder must contain the rtl language file (he.mo or equivalent)
Third : you can test a plugin as xili-language or other based on switching style and mo file according current language of post or list of posts..M.

Hope author will not that as a new feature for future version !Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Would you use a Network???As experimented since 4 years when building multilingual websites, there is no single solution, it’s depend from the content strategy and the navigation you want between the translated pages. (and the universe for each language) (WP or plugin don’t translate, there organize data in CMS and display them.) You must also consider if the plugin modify or not the database adding tables. Technically (data model), I think plugins based on custom taxonomy (language) to assign posts and custom post types and using switching between .mo files (containing translation as in localization) for theme template terms are more interesting.
The plugins competition is great (more than 12 plugins identified) !

In reply to: [MultilingualPress] Not working with WP 3.5Hello RestonUSE,
be respectful of the work of the author, contributor and thousands of users of xili-language since 4 years! if the plug is not suitable for your use, say it using measured words.
As it is usual, if you discover an issue or something wrong, use technical description as in tracs.
It is because users (newbie, or expert) contribute that plugins progress… or unexpected issues will be fixed.M.

In reply to: [xili-language] Remeber Language SelectionWhen query (in url) contains lang=xx_yy the result sub-selects posts in this target language.
Without using $_GET, if in your theme (header or elsewhere) you need to use current langue, use the function the_curlang()…Today xili-language in his free version don’t contain cookies or similar techniques to trace visitors.

In reply to: [Bogo] Category titles cannot be bilingualFor reader’s information, xili-language plugin works (and progress continuously with more features) since WP 2.3 and now 3.5 to create multilingual website.
Category titles (and descriptions) and many other elements (widget title,…) are automatically switched according language and translated texts present and added in .mo files.
For authors, when editing a post, you can go (or create and go) to the linked translated one with ‘copying’ the categories of the original post… (saving time)
A developer of theme will also find more tools (hook) or template tags.
Have you tested as example (read sources) provided child themes :
