Multilingual blog

Hi, my site is running the 2nd strategy multilingual perch's method and I need the blog to be multilingual too. I have two questions:

  1. I am using categories to separate posts by language but I don't know how to link each blog post to its other-language-post just by clicking the language label at the top of the page. Any idea?

  2. Can I use different blog post template in post.php? There are different static words in each language...

Thanks a lot!

Could you add a field to cross link them?

Yes, see the section "Post templates" https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/blog/template-tags/

You mean to create a field in the create post section and make the client copy and paste the url of the other language post? Too much work for him I guess... Instead of using categories is no chance to make a unique post with different language fields and then display the ones that belongs to each language?

Yes, see the section "Post templates" https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/blog/template-tags/

That's it.

Thanks Drew
