This Theme is a hack for multilingual blog using multisite wordpress. It redirect users from "/" to "/en/" or "/fr/" in function of the accepted languages of the browser. The Theme redirect the 404 error page too.
This theme is a quick and dirty hack for my previous multilingual blog (http://oncleben31.cc). I've switched from Wordpress to Jekyll so I won't update it anymore (I think I never updated it ;-) Don't hesitate to fork and improve it.
This theme is a good companion to Multisite Language Switcher (by lloc) plugin for Wordpress. I've develop a similar plugin few years ago but this one is far more mature. Give it a try
Prerequisite: Your Wordpress installtion should use a network and a dedicated folder for each language ('/fr' and '/en' in my case).
- Install this theme on your network
- use this theme for the root blog (which is useless if your are compliant with prerequisites )
- Hack it if you have some specificities.
- use theme option to set the languages and redirect adresses
- don't use only the prefered language ($Langue[0]), use the others.
- add an ignore list for (robot.txt or sitemap file generated by plugin or wordpress)
