Bilingual blogging?

I receive this question from a reader last week and haven’t found anyone who can help her out yet. If you can, please post a comment which she’ll be checking periodically.

I’m wondering if in your research you’d seen any successful implementations of a bilingual blog as I’d be interested in talking with the writers about best practices/issues that arise. We’re talking about blogs for our clients here in my department (4700 staff) but any communication (even within the library 20 people) that’s on our intranet or internet site needs to be bilingual.

Some words on me:
I’ve never written a blog, though I’ve been reading them through my aggregator for years. I’m new to Libraries (although my MLIS is 10 years old) and new to my position here at Justice Canada. Previously I worked for the National Archives of Canada in a position far removed from public service.

Cheers,
