Sorry, I naturally meant "none of the high profile shareware/freeware
CMS systems, like WordPress for example, properly support
multilingualism".
That's to say, I can't use the default installation of WordPress to
power a site where the visitor can switch between (say) English,
French, German and Italian content at will. That requires an input
environment which is capable of handling content in several languages
concurrently, which WordPress - and, as far as I am aware, all other
popular freeware CMS systems - cannot. (Not without a third party add-
on, anyway.)
