Proper localization: Support for posts in multiple languages #14

Open thusoy opened 9 years ago

thusoy commented 9 years ago

Allows writing a post for Norwegians in Norwegian, and in English, and have viewers displayed the correct language based on a chain of decisions:

Query param (Post-specific) -> Cookie (site-specific) -> HTTP header (Browser/user specific) -> IP area (best guess, when nothing given explicit) -> Default English. Area could be skipped if IP is detected to come from known proxy service or Tor exit. Write blog post about how language, and other preference related decisions, should happen.

Allow guests to contribute a translation, with text reproduced on my site, link to text on their site and credits.

Default to filter comments on the language they responded to?

Slugs in URLs would be great instead of IDs, but how should localization work in that case?

Should /blag/my-slug?lang=no redirect to /blag/min-slugg, if available? /blag/3?lang=en is clearer in this case, but it's not a particularly beautiful URL..
