Did you ever struggle with more than one language on a WordPress blog? 
In a world of globalization those struggles reach me very often.
This plugin has the ability to store language codes the in post meta data to have articles with different languages on the same page. This might be interesting for blogs who only need sometimes a different language.
One of those is the following case: 
The boss is writing articles in english but its a german company and needs some articles in german too. 
But the second language articles are unique and not only translations.
You maybe think that would be quite simple using WPML. But what are you doing if you need both languages on the start page? 
For this special case, we wrote a plugin, which is able to show all languages on the home page and manipulates the query if some language is chosen. 
It also makes a difference in terms of SEO as it changes the line
<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” dir=”ltr” lang=”en-EN”>
according to your language.
For a real working experience you can use it in combination with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/no-function-language-widget/" title="no function language widget" rel="ugc">no function language widget</a>.

Language Field

If you don't need a full multilingual plugin, but have single articles in a different language.

There are plenty of auto translate plugins, but they leave the content rigid with grammatical errors. For those needing a solution to translate a WordPress site manually into unlimited languages or versions, WP-Translate is for you. Using shortcodes, template tags, and a widget, you can easily create a site that will reflect appropriate content, images, links, and text for each language. You can use simple shortcodes in your content, or customize your templates to change your entire site. The beautiful thing is that you don’t need to create multiple posts or pages for each language. All content is filtered off one post/page.
<h3>Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Translate no longer uses commas as delimiters for the parameters, use the | pipe symbol instead. This caused problems when trying to translate paragraphs with commas.</li>
<li>Nested shortcodes. You can now add contact forms, photo galleries and whatever other plugin that uses shortcodes into the [translate] tags.</li>
