Try multi language plugin or wp localization.
That should solve it.

I have a website mywebsite.com, I already have wordpress blog installed on mywebsite.com/blog; now I have a human french translated version of my website here fr.mywebsite.com, now I'm stuck between two choices:
1. Installing wordpress again on fr.website.com/blog and hire a french blog writer to take charge.
2. OR, Continue with the already existing mywebsite.com/blog and then get a machine translator to automatically switch between languages.
I want to know if it is Ok to have wordpress installed twice on my domain (1 on the main domain and 1 on the subdomain).
I really need the public's opinion to help me decide because I really want to search/google about this, but I didn't even know what to search for in the first place. Thanks.
A human translation maybe is better and you can have Taylor made content for each language. There is no problem having a second installation to the same domain.
You can also check for a multi site solution or even simpler using a multi language plugin.
Finally there is always the custom multilingual solution but it depends on your coding experience.
Of course this is my point of view
I have a Wordpress site that is built on Foundation-theme and using Stella for multilingual plugin. When you change language it works great, but when you click "Home" in the menu, you get redirected to default language.
What do I need to do?
Best practice is always provide code. Well,Check you code either the multilingual is maintaining a session in which it stores the current language title like English(en)
OR
check your URL may be there is a parameter ?lang=en so you need to place this parameter on each link on your whole site to keep the user in the respective language.
for Example your logo should be this:
<img src="/images/logo.jpg"/>
5 Easy Steps To Create A WordPress Multilanguage Website.
Their website. They must also learn to create a WordPress multilanguage website as it will be helpful in reaching new audiences. Creating a multilanguage setup does not require building a new interface. Instead, the content of the existing website is translated into different languages. This helps in communicating the vast majority of the world’s population which is not familiar with English.
Multilanguage interfaces give visitors the convenience of browsing the content in the language of their choice. This sort of personalized user experience helps in fostering strong relationships with customers. WordPress website owners can use the following steps to add multilingual capabilities to their interface.

We want to have multiple WP websites (in various countries). Each country's site will have the same template (markup/styles), but slightly different content. The biggest difference will be that each site will be in different languages.
Should we use multisite for this? If so, how do we make each country site a different language?
You can just run multisite and then use a language plugin. I would recommend wpml.org it's not free but it has great multisite support. You can easily activate it in desired sub-sites, and have different languages in each sub-site. I recently used this for a multisite with well over 30 sub-sites, each with their own set of translations/languages.
If you only have need for one language per sub-site, ie controlled via domain, you could just use wpml and skip multisite. Since you still got the possibilities to create different menus and pages in different languages. Then you can tell wpml to listen for either domain (.com should show english content, .es spanish etc..) or you can tell it to listen for sub-domains, ie yourwebpage.com/es/
Hope this helps.
You did not told if the existing answer was useful or not :-(
Still I will add a link to a good resource for others that arrive at this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Multilingual_WordPress

Is it possible to control 2 different Drupal website from 1 admin panel? 2 different domain, but on same host-server.
one of my client came up with the idea and I wasn't sure if it can be done.
Appreciate advices! Thanks a lot!
If you're just trying to have two domains point to the same Drupal installation (e.g. http://example.com/ and http://example2.com point to the same Example Drupal website), this is supported out of the box as long as you don't use a multisite setup.
That is, normally, you'd just stick your settings.php file in sites/default/. If you did that, any domain that's pointed to the Drupal directory will use the same Drupal site. You don't need to do anything else.
If you've stuck your site in sites/example.com, you could create a symbolic link with the name of the other domain; i.e. you'd have sites/example.com and a symbolic link to it called sites/example2.com.
If you're trying to run two disparate sites through the same admin panel, you can't do it per se: that is, you can't manage most aspects of Drupal through its default administration system because it's not designed to do that.
However, if you're trying to simulate something like Plesk or Cpanel—that is, you just want to easily manage Drupal deployments using one control panel—there is a project under heavy development called Aegir. I've used it on a few different occasions and it works pretty great, but it's a somewhat involved setup process.
With http://drupal.org/project/domain you can simulate two websites. Is not actually two different Drupal installation.
You can take a look http://drupal.org/node/346385 for more information about the different multi-site options.
No, not that I am aware. As well as the content, all the administration aspects of the site are stored in the site's database, so the admin area and the front end of the site are joined at the hip! 1 database per site, so 1 admin area per site.
There is Aegir http://www.aegirproject.org which is a multi-site manager dashboard system. It's more for creating and managing the site than for managing content, but it might be what you're looking for.
I have managed to setup a blog on localhost quickly using wordpress. But what is ivolved in setting up a commercial website that is not a blog?
Also, should learning to use wordpress be more diffcult than learning Asp.Net or php? I can use these languages to create a website more quickly than using wordpress it seems. I'm guessing it should be possible to create a basic php website and then somehow hook it up to the admin functionality of wordpress to publish content and update it?
Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
A few thoughts on this.
First, Wordpress is based on PHP. So if you know your way around in PHP you are able to change anything within wordpress, you can build customized plugins, templates, etc.
However, using Wordpress has nothing to do with the programming languages you know. The fact that you are struggling with it is probably more because you don't understand yet what the features of Wordpress are or what you can use them for.
You can easily use Wordpress to create a simple non-blog website by setting up pages instead of posts. So you would be using Wordpress not as a blog engine but more as what's usually called a content management system CMS (not that using it as a blog engine wouldn't make Wordpress a CMS, but I'm talking about the general usage of those wordings).
A simple Google search might help you find more information about how to accomplish it in your specific case.
Hope this helps!
You need experience with PHP, HTML and CSS to configure WordPress to run like a non-blog website. Is it easier? Maybe, you get what you want but you won't understand what is going on.
If you are creating a static web page, say like a company's web site with little to none dynamic content, use pages (not posts) and create a static front page.
If you wish to use WordPress like a generic CMS, you can either use the Pods plugin or the newly introduced custom post types and taxonomies (new in Wordpress 3.0). You still need knowledge of PHP/MySQL to configure the Wordpress Loop (which is used to display blog posts and other dynamic content) and Wordpress Theme tags (to display name of the current logged in user).
Some plugins help with customizing the site for a non-blog look. Theme My Login and Theme my Profile blends the log-in page and profile page with your theme. However, if you need to customize the appearance, or add new logic, you pretty much need programming.
In short, you would need knowledge of PHP and MySQL; CSS too, if possible. Get your hand dirty building some sites, then what Wordpress offer and does for you with its API will be more relevant.
