Search TV Shows via Google Video

Google offers the opportunity to search for individual TV shows. Right now the option is available at the English version of video.google.com only. Searching for the name 0f a TV show at  video.google.com and opening the option's menu on the left side, I get access to the new feature "Episodes" (cf. picture 1). Some videos are accessible at youtube, e.g. Bonanza. Others are accessible at US sites, leaving European viewers with the message:  "The video you have requested is not available in your geographic region." In this case you have to use a proxy to access the video (cf. this German post).

You can refine the search, but if there are no search results, the option "Episodes" disappears completely. Some results are rather mysterious, like the search for "house" and "choice" (cf. picture 2). But no doubt, Google will improve the feature.

This is just a summary of the German article.

Wordpress Multilingual

Today I installed the Wordpress Plugin WPML. It enables me to pubish content in German and in English. Installation was really easy and a matter of five minutes:

• install and activate the plugin in Wordpress


• select the main language of the blog


• select additional languages


• select the funcionality to switch languages on a blog page


• done

On blog and admin pages I now have the possibility to switch language. After writing a post in one language, I can add a translation, which is then linked with the original Page. I hope everything works fine, and some Engish Speakers will find their way to my blog.
