Polyglot editor integration in 5 minutes
Polyglot is a great WordPress plugin by Martin Chlupac, which allows WordPress users to offer multilanguage versions of virtually any content. (I’m using it on this website, too.)
Unfortunately, Polyglot lacks a quite important feature: A proper integration into the WordPress editors, i.e. TinyMCE and Quicktags (The buttons above the editor which you see when WYSIWYG is deactivated). I’m certainly not the first to notice this problem, but I might have been the first to create a proper solution.
Here you have it, code and documentation in a little package:
polyglot_editor_integration.zip
polyglot_editor_integration.tar.gz
(Follow the instructions in the file HOWTO. Note that the TinyMCE integration is based on TinyMCE 3, hence it requires WordPress 2.5 or higher. If there is enough request, I might also create a TinyMCE 2 solution.)
Integrate Polyglot with your WordPress editors. It’s just a matter of 5 minutes!

Good addition – I’d vote for it to be integrated in the official release
However, for now I’m still using 2.3.3 (on several of my sites) and I don’t think I’ll be migrating to 2.5 just yet, since many plugins will break.
Does one comment constitute “enough request” for a TinyMCE 2 release ?

Glad you like it.
As for TinyMCE v2 support, it’s also a question when I have the time to do it.
