I will look into allowing integration with Mvlcek's i18n plugin, however at the moment I am unaware of how it functions.
Good to hear that it is on your todo list. I would also welcome this very much for your item manager plugin.
Haven't installed this plugin yet, but it seems similar to newsmanager in the sense that the blog posts are in their own seperate section as opposed to being part of the regular pages.
Maybe you can solve it in a similar way as Mvlcek's gallery plugin does: show the default language as standard, but with a language switch which enables you to switch to the other available languages.
Basically you would need some kind of check to see if multiple languages are used and if so to generate them in your plugin.
Switching to one of the other languages would then give the user the opportunity to fill in the fields for this particular blog entry for the language in question.
If you make the seperate language versions of an entry optional (ie. if it isn't filled in the blog entry won't show for said language) it would be absolutely perfect. Same basically goes for your item manager plugin.
On a side note: If you can add an optional seperate field for the excerpts or add an option to show say a paragraph or several paragraphs as opposed to characters that would be a great addition too.
And another question, while I am at it: It is possible to show the latest entries outside the blogpage. Say, on the homepage or in a sidebar on the rest of the site? If not, that would be another great addition in my opinion.
Anyway, hope my input helps
