38 Language Translation Tool

We added a translation plug in to our blog at http://www.green-trust.org. We then added the translation widget to our left column, so a user can pick the flag of their choice, and see a machine translation of our blog. This works in conjunction with the xml sitemap tool to submit blog updates to the major search engine in all 38 languages.

newsPage Plugin (highly recommended)

The newsPage Plugin makes it easy to redisplay content from other websites that have RSS feeds. You install the plugin into wordpress, create a page with the plugin code, and set up what sites you want to pull content from. Every hour or so the plugin checks those sites for new content, and pulls in the summary and link. Takes just a few minutes to set up. Very easy. See an example at http://www.green-trust.org/wordpress/self-sufficiency-news-from-around-the-world/
