Soleil Theme for WordPress
From Avi Alkalay, here’s the Soleil Theme for WordPress.
Althought it looks really good, Soleil is way more than eye candy. It is unique due to this main features:
- Localized on demand
The blog generic control strings will appear in visitor’s language that he set on his browser. Also, all blog-specific strings as category names, post titles and personal links may have hooks for personal localizations.- Widgetized sidebar
Soleil provides all its sidebar content as widgets. If you use the WordPress Widget Plugin, you’ll be able to visually rearrange the sidebar and also visually use more widgets from a vast network of developers.
The list goes on and on but I found #1 to be most interesting. To try it out, I set my Firefox preferred language to Portuguese and refreshed the page. It works brilliantly.

I know! I left my browser set to Portuguese for a day and the only site I noticed in Portuguese was Google. I’m thinking of doing the same for WordPress.com.

Just to let you guys know he coded the widgets wrong it doesn’t show anything and stops whenever a widget is called. Check out the comments on the his post for more.
