GS Blog v1.4

[mikeh]

@mikeh:
I very much applaud your effort to add a pretty full-featured blogging tool to GS. As a plugin like newsmanager (the next best thing in my opinion) is not developed anymore and could use some serious extending anyhow. So your new plugin is very interesting! Your roadmap looks good too. Any idea when you plan to release v1.1?

However, something I would like to ask of you: be sure to look into adding multi-language functionality, most logically to make it play nice with Mvlcek's i18n-plugin. Or in a different way, whatever is most convenient for you. You'd be surprised how many multi-language sites there are. Especially here in Europe, where just about everybody speaks a different language these are very common (usually the mother-tongue + English).

So to have this functionality in there would be a great addition to your plugin (to the items manager one too for that matter).

I can imagine that from your perspective (being in the USA) sites usually will tend to be just 1 language but in this part of the woods it's totally different. So if you could add it, enabling users to have their blog or news in multiple languages, it would be grand.

I am already using i18n functions for all the text in the plugin. There are 3 language files already created (en_US.php, es_ES.php, da_DA.php). I am aware a good portion of Get Simples user-base does not speak English. My lack of internationalization in some of my other plugins is pure laziness rather then ignorance, they are on my todo list

I will look into allowing integration with Mvlcek's i18n plugin, however at the moment I am unaware of how it functions.
