False, true, symmetrical and asymetrical multilingual blogs
Blog i18n (3)
L10n in blogs can result in different types of Non-English sites. A localised blog in a given language it's the most obviuous, but then there is that curious possibility: the bilingual or multilingual blog, a territory of the net not totally explored to date.

Blog i18n (4)
Is it possible, bilingual blogging?
Yes, and there are sites out there. But, the truly coherent, consistent, bilingual blog... I just haven't found it. My blog isn't either that kind of blog. I have written a list of features (Ten Commandments) with which true multilingual blogs should comply.
