<p>Since I started my personal blog, I began to wonder what would be the right way to internationalize it. Some people opt to create a dedicated site for each language and some people develop more sophisticated solutions. I made something quite simple: <em>Flag Me</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fahien.me/flag-me" rel="nofollow ugc">Flag Me</a> is a <em>WordPress Plugin</em> which enables you to add a country flag before the title of your posts or pages in the sidebar. This makes it easier for visitors to understand the language in which it is written content.</p>

<p>This very simple WordPress plugin automatically sets up the WP language environment based on the first part of the url of any page.</p>
<p>It will automatically setup the right XML header lang attribute + the internal WordPress $locale variable that is used to load the right language files for i18n and l10n (.po, .mo).</p>
<h4>Usage:</h4>
<p>Your blog URL structure should always begin with an official two-letter langage code, for example:</p>
<ul>
<li>/en/… for english</li>
<li>/es/… for Spanish</li>
<li>/ja/… for Japanese</li>
<li>/fr/… for French</li>
<li>etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please use only lower-case codes.</p>
<p>Pages that don’t comply to this URL scheme will still get your blog’s default locale setting, as configured in your wp-config.php file.</p>
<p>Sometimes you need to rename or copy some of your po/mo files, for example French language PO files are usually named like this: <code>fr_FR.po</code>;<br />
just copy it to <code>fr.po</code> to make it work with a two-letter code.</p>
<h4>Example</h4>
<p>This plugin is used for extended multi-language support on the <a href="http://post2peer.com/about" title="Post2Peer posts and sites directory" rel="nofollow ugc">Post2Peer.com open posts directory</a>.</p>
<h4>Français</h4>
<p>Ce plugin permet très simplement de faire fonctionner un blog multilingue ou bilingue, français/anglais par exemple.</p>
