We have just made (the long awaited) Blog Theme Release 0.9.38 available for download
This release targets Confluence 3.x and includes German localization.

We will include localization for French in the next release.

Thus we will have both languages that Confluence supports out of the box supported by the theme.

Recent changes

1. Numerous fixes to be compatible with Confluence 3.x
2. Proper localization for all theme-related texts
3. German localization. Use German titles for special pages the theme relies on: About - Über dieses Blog, Featured Articles - Ausgewählte Artikel, Side Panel - Seitenleiste, Side Panel Part One .. Side Panel Part Nine - Seitenleiste Teil Eins .. Seitenleiste Teil Neun.
4. Added the server side redirect to news on home page access (available Confluence 2.8+)
5. Removed default livesearch behavior via GO button
