Author: Jamie Talbot
Description: Gengo is a full featured plugin that provides multi-language blogging for WordPress. It allows for an unlimited number of translations and summaries for any post and provides template tags to display language information. It automatically generates semantic information for links and content blocks and is configurable via an options page.

Version 0.8 brings reading in multiple languages, right to left language support, support for longer language codes, among many other things, as well as plenty of bug fixes.
