Reading new users’ posts on the Polyglots blog has made it clear that the structure and processes by which languages are supported in WordPress isn’t obvious to everyone. I hope this post will help to shed some light on how it’s done and how you can play a part.

WP Realm: What We’ll Cover and How You Can Get Involved
When Remkus asked me if I wanted to be involved with WP Realm, I was pretty excited. Not only is there a great team behind it (who I love working so closely with) but it gives me an opportunity to showcase and promote people using WordPress all over the world. At Words for WP, my clients are everywhere, I speak to people using WordPress in loads of different countries and there is a feeling that the real focus of the WordPress community is in the US. We want to broaden that out to cover the wide spectrum of WordPress users. [Read more…] about WP Realm: What We’ll Cover and How You Can Get Involved
How WP Realm Began
For the last two years, I have been thinking about setting up a (more) international WordPress blog, but the thought of doing it alone prevented me from getting started. As an internationally orientated European guy, I was missing something on the various blogs covering news about WordPress.
It wasn’t until the very first WP on Tour in January of this year that the idea was rekindled, but nothing was set in stone. Yet.

WP on Tour was a huge success
The 15th of January through the 22nd finally saw its first WP on Tour go live. WPCandy mentioned WP on Tour here before, but it’s basically a bunch of WordPress developers (of all shapes and sizes) sharing a working space for a week. This first edition saw 10 of us — yes, I was fortunate to be among them — in a beautiful house in Sitges, Spain having fun and co-working for 7 days.
You can find the full list of WP on Tour attendees on this Twitter list, You might have noticed some of your WordPress buddies on Twitter mentioning the #wpontour hashtag and you might have concluded that we had a lot of fun…
Hello world!
WP Realm is a soon-to-be-launched blog concerning all things WordPress. This is a non-commercial community blog, focusing on the WordPress community worldwide, and redressing a current imbalance in WordPress blogs that are too often US-centric. That means reporting on WordPress news and events across the world, from France to Serbia to China to India to South Africa to the USA and everywhere in between!
Our focus will be on WordPress businesses, blogs, events, people and services. As a community project, we’d love for you to get involved, whether it’s helping with the design and development, to reporting the news, to writing an editorial, or just giving us your feedback.
WP Realm will be published in English, but we invite contributions from anyone, no matter what your first language is. Articles don’t need to be in perfect English as everything will be edited before being published. Follow the project or get in touch to get involved.
