I am looking at #wordpress multilingual options and this feels so broken. There's no out-of-the-box solution that is easy to manage. There's this tutorial but it creates a bunch of #SEO obstacles. https://wordpress.com/support/simple-multilingual-site-tutorial-using-blocks-no-plugins/
-
I have also been looking at #Wordpress #Plugins, and they all go over the needs of small sites with a discouraging price tag. WPML, WeGlot, TranslatePress, etc. I'm sure Large Websites can benefit from them, but small business can't just keep adding monthly subscriptions.

(Not spreading hate, just a bit frustrated that something as good as #Wordpress can't come with an out-of-the-box decent translation feature)

@brunoamaral I know that Gutenberg editor's 4th phase is "multilingual support" but they're still in alpha of the third (collaboration) - I fear there's so much yet to do, I am not a developer or such, I am somehow a tester and it's very slow to release new relevant functions because it's so damn hard! I mainly work on accessibility but I can't really guess how hard it is for others. And translation is quite complex - both counting on an automated and manual
-
@brunoamaral I totally agree on this as well: personally I created Italian and English for my site by using Gutenberg and full site editing, the disadvantage is that I need to create as many custom templates as the languages are, with some custom code to manage search results and WordPress language. And partially 404 page. What's missing for now is to customize archives. Many tags are double, "eventi" for Italian "events" for English but doesn't work for common words, as "HIV".

@talksina I started blogging with #Wordpress in 2008. It’s come a long way, and it’s still the best #CMS for small to corporate size websites. (Looking at you #Drupal …)
My blog now runs on #Hugo as a Static Site because I wanted something more flexible and easy to manage.

@brunoamaral My purpose would be that if you click on the word "HIV" from a post stored in "international" category, it should show me English archive template with English posts queryloop only. Now, I'm testing a plugin called IntelliBuilder - https://wordpress.org/plugins/intelli-builder who shows/hides blocks depending on conditions including browser language and country. But it's new and currently works poorly for me I'm in touch with the dev to fix it.

@brunoamaral Damn, into WordPress since 2004 myself. But I gave up, then came back, then gave up again for Drupal, and now back again since 3 years. 2 wordcamp talks so far, (italian only) and I'm now trying to share my experience and help at my best. With all my limits.

@brunoamaral @talksina For strictly blogging, I use writefreely (open source). Hosted solution at https://write.as - enjoyable for blogging only, but not anything CMS related. My personal site uses it if you're curious it having a look. https://justinferriman.com

@justinf @brunoamaral I have one too, on WriteFreely it's on Noblogo . org and it is a comfortable diary to share thoughts; there you can write in any language and hashtags help tagging the content properly. Then, it depends on what you want from a platform, IMHO.
