If you’re thinking about building a multi-language website using an open-source CMS, then you should probably be using Plone.

Why? In a word: LinguaPlone.

LinguaPlone is a drop-in product for Plone that instantly enables you to build multilingual websites that “just work.” Other CMSes have multilingual user interfaces (and so does Plone, translated into 40 languages!), but only Plone gives you a framework for creating and managing translated versions of your content.

Plone’s multi-language capabilities should be of particular interest to anyone building websites for nonprofits, especially for international NGOs or organizations that are serving diverse populations here in the US.

I don’t even build multilingual websites, but LinguaPlone makes me want to. Nice work, PloneSolutions!
