I am looking for something like have_posts() , but to limit it to a category.
Hmm i kinda figured a way to do it, I found a plugin that lets you turn a page into a link. Through that link it loads the archive of that category. I guess that is the hack way around it. I think it would nice to wordpress as a CMS to be able to separate out blog threads within the menu.
I think Jesse and dona want a switch within wordpress to swap languages that have been predefined on a page. Not to translate on a page. The qtranslate adds extra fields that turn on and off within a post depending what language you select.
You want to use a plugin call qtranslate.
