GlottyBot

A WordPress Multilingual plugin.

Approach

Posts: Alters posts table by adding a post_locale and post_translation_group column. Each Posts Translation is a post on its own. New translations are added by cloning a post, so each property gets copied to the translation.

Taxonomies and Menus: generates a po / mo file for every taxonomy and menu.
