multi-language T3BLOG

The mere existence of this post is some kind of an irony, as it is practically the English language counterpart of of the recent German language post which focused on how I managed to implement the blog for a multi-language site while not having to translate every post.

However, a bit of web server log analytics told me that figuring out how to use the T3BLOG extension for multi-language sites already seems to be a major incentive to visit my site, and this tells me at least two things:

• The patch to allow this might be interesting also for English language readers
• As time permits, it might make sense to further refine this adaption (for example, relating the categories to a specific language would be a nice-to-have)

Anyway, for those interested, here is the patch again. It adds a dropdown to choose a language for the posts in the backend, and filters the posts according to the current language setting at the frontend.
