Yes you can, for this use better the version 1. The link you must use is described in the installation-description.

Ah I know, why I haven't done this - In the first place, I tried to change the hack a bit, so that everyone would have been able to change the language by that menu. But then some users didn't like it - i changed it back and overlooked that part. Soooo, shame on me ;)

Would it be possible to use a URL such as:

http://www.99mac.se/forum/?styleid=1&language=2

(this way I could use the 99mac.se domain for swedish and .com for english)

You must use http://www.99mac.se/forum/index.php?...stlanguageid=2

Then the forum will be shown in the language-id 2 for guests.

It'd be nice if there's also an option for force some forum/board to display in some language, even for registered users.

Say if you user http://www.mydomain.com/forum/index....X&languageid=X
then, everyone use that link will see the forum (or some board) in that language.

It's helpful when you have a forum with multiple languages boards, one board in English, one board in German, for example. If someone goes to German board, they are force to use German :P (regardless they are guests or members)

Well, the laguage-selection for registred users is not touched by my modification, because there you can select your language in the user-settings.

Maybe the language-selection (regardless if logged in or not) will work one day in standard-vB via parameter in the url, then you have a solution for that. :)

:p I'm playing with the parameters, trying to force languageid to be something different than default one, for registered member, but havent got any success.

Do you have any suggestion?

It will not work for registred members, because the parameter is not read out neither by vB nor by my modification.

The only way to manage this for registred members, is to call an own php, where you modify the database-record. A german user requested this, so I made an "quick-and-dirty", not official solution for him. You can find it in the german-vb board.

I have added a version 3 of my hack. It is based on version 1, but was extended by WildChild and detects the user's browser language automatic, so the user will see the board in his language without selecting it manually.

You find the version 3 in the first post of this thread.

Thanks to WildChild.

is there a way to add this thing for registered users?
so there will be fast language selection on the navbar...
