The WordPress 3.9 update broke by blog, it took me some time to find the culprit: the qtranslate plugin. It was causing all sort of minor problems in the past, so I decided to just turn it off. I started using it at a time when I was using way more different languages in this blog, and I never managed to find a satisfying way to use it.
The underlying problem still remains: I write in this blog in multiple languages, something the Web in general and WordPress in particular have trouble coping with, simply trying to solve it in an add-on simply does not work. Internationalisation, like security and reliability are not something you can add as an afterthought.

qTranslate is a very smart plugin, more elegant than its competitors in my opinion, but it’s very finicky about new WordPress updates.
On the other hand, it seems that changing a line in its code re-enables it. Usually.

I first want to see if I’m really using that plugin, if I feel the need again, I can always re-install it.
Except for titles, the behaviour when it absent is fine. Plus the date on this blog are now fixed.
