Wordpress site with multi-language functionality - wordpress

I don't know if there is a sub-stackoverflow page for asking Wordpress questions, sorry if I'm doing it wrong now.
I want to develop a multi-language website wherein certain pages do exist for a language, and wherein some languages don't have the page.
ENG:
www.site.com/*EN*/services
NL:
www.site.com/*NL*/services --> 404 not found - because we don't deliver services in NL..
What's the best workaround for this? --> I've looked up multi-language plugins, lots of possibilities...
Thanks for reading and responding!

Based on your requirements it sounds like WPML is the best solution for you. I have used it many times. It provides the exact functionality you are looking for.

Wordpress & Secure Forms

Question on which way to take this project. Im creating a site that is in its simplest, a form that people can submit ideas. I want to have it post automatically to a home page.
Questions is, what is the best software out there to do this? Was thinking wordpress just because I know some php and how I could do it quickly.
Its almost similar to stackoverflow in that you ask a question, add tags to it, etc.
Any ideas?
getsatisfaction.com is a service that allows users to submit ideas or help requests.

Please let me know if you have knowledge about some important sites that use Drupal CMS and have multi-language support. I know this is a job done using some google research but I really need a quick turnaround. I appreciate all the answers.
http://www.drupalsites.net is a nice site that lists drupal sites.
Here is a list of tags of sites made in drupal in all languages.

Is there an open source Wordpress plug-in to implement Facebook/Twitter/OpenID/... authentication?

Possible duplicate:
What’s open-source commenting system are available?
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to implement Facebook/Twitter/OpenID/... authentication on my WordPress blog.
I have found plugins for Twitter, plugins for Facebook, plugins for OpenID.. but I'm afraid integration of all thos plugins will be tough.
Also, I have found RPX that is doing the job perfectly, but I would prefer an open source soultion rather than relying on RPX web service.
Would you have any clue?
Nicolas
Here's another one that depends on a web service: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gigya-socialize-for-wordpress/
It seems like this is a common thing. Integrating so many logins is complicated enough that it kind of makes sense that no one has made one plugin that handles them all.
You can also use GIGYA for this. The site link is gigya.com
And plugin URL is : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gigya-socialize-for-wordpress/
After several trials, the best for me is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/social-connect/
Here you can find some details on installing it

How to implement PodPress in .NET (just like StackOverflow Blog)

I wonder if anyone has any idea on how to implement the nice and clean UI from PodPress (a Wordpress plugin) into .NET just like you find in the StackOverflow Blog when PodCasts are available.
And have that nice stats and iTunes integration as well :)
Added:
I realized now (stupid of me not checking first - using the meta key or even go to the admin page .../wp-admin) that SO Blog is on Wordpress, but still, my wishes are the same, How about a .NET version?
I guess I will contact the author directly and propose him/her a .NET version of the WP plug in.

I'm searching for the entire bottle of magic, iTunes integration, Stats, etc... Shouldn't Jeff give an anwer, he had to do something about this?
Jeff didn't convert PodPress into .NET.
blog.Stackoverflow.com is a Wordpress blog.
He simply loaded the PodPress plugin for Wordpress, clicked activate in his plugins tab and navigated to his newly created PodPress tab. There he configured his iTunes integration and his statistics information.
If you view the source of the blog you'll see:
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.7" />
Edit: Response to your comment.
Yes, I realized that after, but still... I WANT a .NET version :) (not to much to ask, is it?) eheh ;) – balexandre
The PodPress-WordPress plugin is tightly coupled to the WordPress Plugin Interface. PodPress is a mixture of flash, javascript and php and all of these are calling upon WordPress functions.
The PHP and Javascript are easily editable but the work required to hack PodPress to work without WordPress would probably be a little more difficult than simply re-writing PodPress from scratch.
Also, I've read on many forums about people getting slow responses from the sole developer of the project and how releases have been taking a long while to come out. So I don't think you'll be able to easily get him to rewrite his project into a different platform.
Your options are:
Use WordPress
Rewrite PodPress from scratch without any WordPress dependencies.
Find an alternative
The magic happens inside the flash player, so all you'd need to do to get the same effect is place that flash player inside an aspx page (or ascx control) and supply the appropriate variables like the file name and location of the audio.
Does that answer the question or am I missing something?
Well, for the player portion, you could use the Yahoo! Music Player: http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/
I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, as you want all the features of PodPress, but, I imagine this could be a small stepping-stone/starting point. It's really easy to use, and it's a decent interface.
I don't think there's a simple answer to this question. podPress is a quite a large plugin, and porting it to a new language and blog engine is tough; there's not just a single trick to it. I imagine that the included Flash and Java players and the supporting JavaScript is licensed so that you can use them in your project. (podPress is GPL)
Now, the StackOverflow blog uses WordPress and podPress, not something written in .NET, so my bet is that nobody has actually done this work.

Joomla Blog/Wordpress Integration

I'm looking for a wordpress-like blog interface to put inside a Joomla hosted site. The admin interface of Joomla is quirky enough and hard enough to use that daily updates are infeasible.
What I am looking for is an easy-to-use posting interface that supports multiple users with different accounts/names, a tagging scheme, and easy find by date/user/tag functionality.
In particular I'm looking for a relatively easy-to-deploy, out-of-the-box solution, and would prefer not to hack rss feeds together or write too much custom code. I know there are several extensions out there but they all receive largely mixed reviews... Has anyone used any of these? Or has anyone had experience putting something like this together?
Well you could do this - have a wordpress installation. Get the users to post there and then use the RSS feed from it (or the XML RPC Blogging API) to update the Joomla installation. You will have to write the update piece once, but then all the headache is gone.
I'm not trying to be smart here, but if the admin interface of Joomla isn't working for you, aren't you doing yourself a disservice by trying to patch their UI instead of spending your time looking for a CMS that is easier to manage/a better fit for your user base?
Edit: All of the CMS's I've dealt with in ASP.NET are homegrown. However I'm looking into checking out Umbraco based on the recommendations of two well-respected friends. In the case you presented where you already have content in Joomla and a migration out to another CMS is going to be overkill, I think that vaibhav has got it right. You should look into setting up Wordpress or some other blogging engine and then simply have Joomla consume the content and display it in the Joomla site. I've not done it, but from what I remember of Joomla when I was looking at it, I believe that it would support this.
After doing a bit more research I decided to go with the open source MojoBlog. It was quite easy to install and configure and after a few stalls and hang ups that were resolved via perusal of their forums I was up and running. The edit interface is not ideal but it much better than Joomla admin, and it has multi-user-support, tag categorization, modules for viewing by tag, date, etc. Think it will suffice for my needs in the short term.
