Gregor and Eduardo were receiving daily, several emails asking for help about a Multilingual site - so they decided to offer this unofficial PATCH until the release of Open-Realty® v.3 with Full Multilingual Support - when this version will be descontinued - till there, this version will be updated with bug fixes and features implemented like the official versions of O-R.

This version was first released at January/03,2007 with four languages.

Please feel free to help adding new languages, posting at the forum the necessary files.
