Forum languages

TeeJay · 25 Oct 06 :: 23:34

I just found this out today. Or rather realized this today. This forum has multiple language support. What I mean is that you can install multiple languages for the forum to display in. So I installed a couple that I thought might be useful. So far, we have these languages installed:

English
German
Spanish
French
Italian
Dutch
Polish
Romanian
Swedish

There are quite a few more that you can install, which I'm listing here:

So if you'd like to see any additional languages installed, please let me know and I'll get them for you. How do you change the forum to your preferred language? Go to the Profile link there at the top and change the language from the drop-down menu in Essentials. It's fairly easy.

That's very cool. So does that mean if we're displaying in English, posts in other languages will be translated into English if that's what's in our profile?

LOL, no, it's not that good. This is only for the display of the forum pages. You know, the buttons, the navigation menu, that kind of thing. The posts themselves will stay in the language they are, as will all the sections and headlines and thread titles.

Oh, you installed Polish. Haha.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 26 Oct 06 :: 20:25

Oh, well, not so cool then.

Deb

domesticelefant · 26 Oct 06 :: 20:34

Yeah, maybe we'll get a flood of Polish fans who can't speak English. That would be ... not cool, sorry.

I added two more languages to the forum today: Hungarian and Bulgarian. When you switch to Bulgarian, some words will remain in Latin writing instead of Cyrillic writing (like Calendar in the top menu), but I guess the users will be able to live with that. Naturally, the posts will remain in English as well, only the menu and some of the funtions will be translated into the local language.
