Weekly Links Roundup – Multilingual Plugins, Custom Login Pages, Broken Links
This week’s top WordPress and web marketing links.
Looking to make your site more globally-friendly? WordPress has a number of translation tools that work in one of two ways: multilingual plugins that help you manually add multilingual content, and automated translation plugins that do it all for you (but are not as accurate, with sometimes lower-quality translations). For a recent project, we were looking for an automated plugin and found our best choice in GTranslate. You can see it in action by clicking Select Language in the header of the SGBI site and check out this post on multilingual plugins to find your best options.
Did you know you can customize the plain-vanilla WordPress login page to make it better match your brand and style?

This is a big post, and also includes a guide to editing the login page look and feel without a plugin.
