Post to more than one language

  • We have a website where we write articles for our company’s internal users. However, not each one is available in every language. Translating every article would be too much for us. We only translate these articles when there is a need but we want untranslated articles to be displayed in the other languages as well. So the users can see that there is something to a topic.
    Is it possible to assign several languages to an article?
    Or is it possible to assign the article to several language categories?

    No.

    No.

    To achieve your goal you you have to create a post in each language an copy the content of the prefered language.
    For example: Initial post is in EN and you have NL and FR as additonal languages. Create your EN post with EN content. Next, create your NL post and copy your EN content. Last create your FR post and copy EN content, too. So, you get (technically) separate posts in three languages but for human each post has EN content.

    Thank you for your answer, but this is not a really good solution.
    The articles are partly very extensive and are maintained by different authors. If you have to copy the content with every small change, mistakes are predictable.
    Redundant data in an IT system is always a bad solution.
