We all know WordPress is one of the most versatile and easy to use CMSs, with plenty of features which made him one of the best blogging platform available on the market. However it still lacks and adequate support for multilingual blogs, for instance when we’d need ot post the same article in more than one language at the same time.

If the CMS itself does not provide enough support for this feature, we can sort thing out pretty easily with a few plugins:

• Google Ajax Translation, this Google API makes available translation to users on your blog frontpage. It is not to be considered a proper WordPress plugin but it works just as good.

• WPML Multilingual CMS, with this plugin we would be able to get a fully working multilingual blogs in just a few minutes. No need of any change inside the source code or tables, it works straight out of the box.

   

• qTranslate, with this plugin we would be able to manage content in different languages from the WordPress editor, through automatic translation and permalink management.

Analytics360 integrates Google Analytics into WordPress

MailChimp has relesead Analytics360, a WordPress plugin which brings Google Analytics in your WordPress dashboard.

I recently came across this really useful wordpress plugins which basically integrates your Google Analytics account straight into your WordPress installation.

I’m quite of an analytics freak I must say, I spend way to much time flickering through browser tabs checking all the different analytics accounts I have.

This WordPress extension comes quite handy, especially when running multiple accounts on the same service (Google Analytics in this case).

360 Analytics does not reduce or modifiy the quality and quantity of information you usually get about your website when logging into your Google Analytics account.

The plugin comes straight from MailChimp and can be used in conjunction with their email marketing services to track the performance of your email campaigns on your site traffic.

By the way: I should start considering how effective are WordPress plugins in terms of marketing… this very extension is quite of an example)
