We cannot do that on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. That's why I posted the workarounds above.

I do not want to create another whole page just with all the languages on it - it looked like on this wordpress page (see here: http://ilawyerblog.com/) it says "select a language" - I want to achieve the same result - a simple drop down menu. Is this possible?

Then they will display as dropdowns.

Frankly I like the one page approach much better http://thistimethisspace.com/translation/

There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/

I would like this feature on my blog, but I do not see it as a widget, nor do I see it as an upgrade that I can purchase. Can someone help me?

I had read your solution in another post, and it's what I'm using for now. It seems to be the best fix until multi-languages becomes a WordPress option.

However, you can write a blog post in the two languages and then post the two versions of the entry on the same blog, make each language category (English, Spanish) , create a custom menu and add the categories pages to it.

I read the entries on the forum, which mentioned using categories or two linked blogs to do this. However, I have a premium package. If I would want to link an identical blog in Spanish, would I have to purchase another package for the secondary blog? What is the best way to publish duplicate blogs/posts in two languages?

Thanks,
Yoga Vichara
