WP Geo in your language?

Map

With WP Geo you can display maps of anywhere in the world so it seems only right that WP Geo should support languages from anywhere in the world…

Currently the plugin is only available in English although there is a German translation which should be available in the next release. If you would like to contribute by adding a translation file then you can find more information on the WP Geo languages page.

  • Markers on all maps now link to the relevant post or page.
  • The “Show map scale” setting is now active.
  • The “Show collapsible overview map” setting is now active.

Welcome to the new WP Geo web site

Monday, 3rd November 2008

A new web site.
A new version of WP Geo coming soon…

The WP Geo WordPress plugin seems to have being attracting a lot of traffic so I have moved all things WP Geo over to this new web site.

Hopefully it will act as a better platform for documentation and discussion to evolve and improve the plugin. One of the objectives will be to evolve WP Geo so that developers can build plugins that hook into the plugin to easily create other geo-related plugins.

I hope you find the site useful. If you have used WP Geo on your site, why not post your site on the featured blogs page?
