Hi,
Maybe this could help several Forum Owners that are going to upgrade to VB5...
In my case, I needed a French Translation and either if this is 80% accurate due to Google Translation, I think this could be a good idea for any Forum Owner that doesnt run it in English.
So.. I made this tool, that works for me.. and would be glad to update it if it fails for you.

Link to the .EXE file (created with .Net C#) (http://www.z750.org/upload/1212/1212-pika-vb-easytranslator.exe)
All you have to do is insert the path of your vB XML language file, and it will sort it out.
- The (1) will extract the English texts from the XML
- (2) is not automated yet, needs you to translate the file (use Google Online Translator Toolkit to translate the full extracted file)
- Run the (3) Merge the translated text with the New language.
Finally, the XML will look good. So far, I didn't importedm ine on my test vB5 forum as I didn't had time.
The only thing (that is on my todolist) is that the XML headers may need to be adjusted to your language which is not that much a pain, and though you may have to review Google Translations :)
Please, let me know how that helps, and should you see an improvement, let me know !
Regards
Pierrick
