question:

ok. so I install a mod or plug-in or whatever...

How do I translate the language for everything in a mod/plug-in etc? I run a forum with English and Korean....

and I want to translate all the words into Korean as well.... but nothing from a mod shows in the language manager (global).

is there a way? :ermm:

I'd kinda suck if I could translate the stuff in the mods for my Korean users.
Any help would be very appreciated...trying to stay international here.^^

Thank you!

Depends on the Hacks.
If they are fully phrased you just have to translate the Phrases.
If not you must translate all hard-coded Text and/or change it to phrases.

hmm....I was afraid of that.

Are there any instructions anywhere on how to do that? (change it to phrases)

Hmm ...
1) Take a look at the Text you want to Phrase
2) Invent a not too long Variable Name for this Text (only using alpha-numeric characters and underscore)
3) Add a new Phrase with this Variable Name in an approprite Phrasegroup
4) Replace the Text with $vbphrase[invented_variable_name]

Repeat steps 1-4 for all Text.

Done.
