We've been busy with new features lately! The language selection has now been enhanced such that you can choose not only the user interface language, but any number of content languages, even when you're not signed in. The multilingual aspect is unique to XIHA Life and we wanted to give visitors a better chance to try it out.

The new language selector adds something for the members too, as you can now set languages on and off any time with on need to visit the profile. This is convenient if you sometimes want to focus on a single language, or if you want to check out a new language but don't want to add it to your profile. Just click on the globe in the top right cornet of every page!

Another new feature which may not be very obvious, is that we are now automatically detecting the language in which comments are posted on blogs and user home pages. Using the language detection we have a lot more control on which messages to show you; we will only show you public messages we think you can understand! The language detection doesn't affect private messages.

We will be expanding the use of language detection to other areas of XIHA Life to make it easier and more convenient to post content in multiple languages.

Finally, we've added a new "quick search" for local friends. On the main page there's now a display of a few people living in the area where you currently are, speaking the languages you speak. By a single click you will see more search results and have an option to refine the search options. This makes it very easy and convenient to connect to people even if you are new to the area.

We continue to add new languages to XIHA Life. The user interface is now fully localized to 23 languages and content can be generated in 31 languages! And we're just getting started...
