Polyglot is a great WordPress plugin by Martin Chlupac, which allows WordPress users to offer multilanguage versions of virtually any content. (I’m using it on this website, too.)
Unfortunately, Polyglot lacks a quite important feature: A proper integration into the WordPress editors, i.e. TinyMCE and Quicktags (The buttons above the editor which you see when WYSIWYG is deactivated). I’m certainly not the first to notice this problem, but I might have been the first to create a proper solution. 
Here you have it, code and documentation in a little package:
polyglot_editor_integration.zip
polyglot_editor_integration.tar.gz
(Follow the instructions in the file HOWTO. Note that the TinyMCE integration is based on TinyMCE 3, hence it requires WordPress 2.5 or higher. If there is enough request, I might also create a TinyMCE 2 solution.)
Integrate Polyglot with your WordPress editors. It’s just a matter of 5 minutes!

Many people would like to try the very latest WordPress developments, which are usually available via the WordPress SVN server. But not everybody is able to use SVN, and of course nobody will bother to scrape the files together via the the web SVN interface.
So I’ve set up a little script on this server that will create a package of the latest SVN code once an hour and make it available for download. The files will be found under the following URLs:
http://www.zirona.com/download/wpsvn/wpsvn.zip
http://www.zirona.com/download/wpsvn/wpsvn.tar.gz
http://www.zirona.com/download/wpsvn/md5sums
http://www.zirona.com/download/wpsvn/current_revision
The packages are to be installed just as a regular WordPress package. You can also use it to upgrade an existing WP installation; note however that it’s not recommended to run development code on production sites.
You can download the script itself, too:
http://zirona.com/download/wpsvn/wpsvn.sh
Enjoy!
Btw, if you just want to see the latest WP without installing it, you can view the development version (especially the admin area) at Chris Johnston’s test site.
P.S. (06.03.2008, 15:40 CET): I just learnt that you can download a trunk snapshot from WP Trac directly. Therefore, this service appears a bit needless now. Anyway, I’m keeping it online; it doesn’t hurt me or my server, and maybe it serves a purpose for somebody.
