v1.1.1:

* Added the media bar in the html editor

* Found the reason why the editor didn't work : csforms2 is breaking the tiny_mce editor, to fix it, just disable the WP Editor Button support in your general settings.

v1.1.0:

* Added the possibility to switch default languages (meaning: exchange original posts/tags/cats with translated ones)

* Added translate links directly into the manage pages & into the Media zone of page/posts edition

* Added an option to generate permalinks for default language (ex-default behavior was always yes)

v1.0.1:

* Updated all database queries, reduced the numbers of queries executed per page (about 200 queries less) via caching methods. The plugin should now require something like 9 queries per page (which is huge i Know, but to translate a blog, this is "necessary").

= I would like to have separated comments for each language. =

In order to have comments tracked separatly for each language, you will have to change your comments.php template file like this:

From this:

action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php"

to this:

action="<?php echo get\_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php?lang=<?php echo zd_multilang\_get\_locale(); ?>"
