Geeklog language files are receiving a significant update, covering both the core CMS and several bundled plugins.

Over the past few weeks, I have been reviewing the existing translations, completing missing strings, adding missing language files, fixing placeholders, and improving consistency between languages.

The goal is simple: provide a more complete and reliable multilingual experience for Geeklog users and make future language maintenance easier.

Why I’m Glad I Stayed with Geeklog

For many years, WordPress has been the obvious choice for a huge number of websites.

Its ecosystem is enormous. There are plugins, themes and integrations for almost everything. It is easy to understand why many people who once used Geeklog eventually moved to WordPress.

I considered that path too.

But today, I am increasingly glad that I stayed with Geeklog.

Some of my Geeklog websites have now been online for 21 years.

That changes the way I look at a CMS.
