What's the most popular (easy and efficient) way of building a multilingual site in Wordpress (no need for multilingual posts)

I would like to build a multilingual site with Wordpress. Everything should be multilingual except the posts. Should I go for Gettext or does Wordpress have a "native"开发者_开发知识库 way of doing this?

(I would also need a language switcher)

I searched for that feature for month without success. The only way to do it was not acceptable.

Enabling the "network" feature (multi-blog), and create a sub-blog for each language.

www.example.org/en

www.example.org/fr

etc.

There are some plugins that may help, but none met my requirements:
