Planet MySQL now multilingual (German feeds first)

With apologies for a brief service disruption on the main page (permissions on a cache directory), Planet MySQL has undergone a little upgrade: you can now toggle to see German feeds, and at the same time the site texts will also flip to German (a few bits of text are not yet translated, I know that).

If you happen to browse to planetmysql.de, you will also end up at the right place (de.planetmysql.org).

The infrastructure is such that we can now handle any number of languages/feeds, but let’s first get the German language feeds going! You can submit yours via http://www.planetmysql.org/newfeed.php.
When we have a decent set, the next language I’ll set up will probably be Spanish as there has been some demand for that and I know there are Spanish blogs about MySQL. I just want to make sure first that there are no glitches with the changed code and templates, and that’s easier to do with a foreign language I can actually understand 😉

Naturally, each language has its own outgoing RSS feed as well. For German it’s de.planetmysql.org/rss20.de.xml.

At the same time, you will also notice that the main page now only shows the latest 10 entries, with prev/next links.

Enjoy.
