[LGM] Our website translation

[Manuel Schmalstieg]

Indeed, Polylang is currently one of the best multilingual solutions.

We have opened a thread for the technical dissussion here:
https://github.com/libregraphicsmeeting/htdocs-2015/issues/5

I just activated the plugin, so Louis can start entering the translations.

Once the pages are translated, we can build the menu for the French
version (under Appearance, Menus : Main Navigation French).

Cheers,
Manuel
