If your asian translation shows strange characters go to AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> Edit Settings -> HTML Character Set and change it to UTF-8

If you use this mod please click Install - cheers!

This looks interesting, does this work on any other VB's?

Thanks . Great hack . exactly what i was looking for .

but i think it would be great if we could do it by having the Countries Flags . so that user just click on Flag and .......... .

Thanks a lot

It works on VB 3.5.X, too.

This does not work for me, If on the index page it just refreshes, if on any other page it just goes to the index page, any ideas please?

same here !

Doesn't work on my site here http://www.hatnang.com

For those people having a problem with this just refreshing, I think it is because you are putting it in between a <form action=...> </form> section. This uses it's own form action...

My page just refreshes and does not pick the chosen language. If your on an actual forum and choose one of the option I go to an error page....

I use the Google translation system, updated from the An-net hack:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...89#post1108089

No problems under 3.6.1, just read the steps on the link above.

For your information, I use google, because it have less problems with the forum with specific caracters (like french accents)

I have now moved mine from the specified place in the template and it works 100%, thanks :)

is vBSEO mod_rewrite an issue, i can't get this to work either :/

EDIT: placing this under the form tag works, so vBSEO is NOT an issue

Code:

        $vboptions[copyrighttext]

</div>



</form>

anyway, what i don't understand is what this piece of code is for

Code:

<a href="javascript:window.location='http://www.ddance.fm/forums'" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.ddance.fm/forums'; return true"

onmouseout="window.status=' '; return true" target="_top">Default language</a>

what is it supposed to do?, it just brings you to the url defined in the script....

can this work on registered users to translate pages while logged on?

it does, but the translating instance does not uses cookies, that is why the ppl get logged out. This means that every NON PUBLIC page can NOT be translated with this system... (imo)

hmmm... I was going to install til I read that..

If it will work for all users (including logged in) then I would install, but without that it's pretty pointless really :cross-eyed:

For all English forums:

Code:

<div align="center">

Translate this page:<br />

<form action="http://translate.google.com/translate">

<input type="hidden"name="u" value="http://rf-xtreme.com$translationurl">

<select name="langpair">

<option value="en|ar">English to Arabic</option>

<option value="en|zh-CN">English to Chinese (Simp)</option>

<option value="en|zh-TW">English to Chinese (Trad)</option>

<option value="en|fr">English to French</option>

<option value="en|de">English to German</option>

<option value="en|it">English to Italian</option>

<option value="en|ja">English to Japanese</option>

<option value="en|ko">English to Korean</option>

<option value="en|pt">English to Portuguese</option>

<option value="en|ru">English to Russian</option>

<option value="en|es">English to Spanish</option>

</select>

<input type=hidden name=hl value="en">

<input type=hidden name=ie value="UTF-8">

<input type=hidden name=oe value="UTF-8">

<input type=hidden name=safe value=active>

<input type=hidden name=prev value="/language_tools">

<input type=submit value="Translate">

</form>

</div>

Egads and ACK! One issue after another on this one. I will keep a watch because this is a hopeful for our site.

Can you make this for HINDI [Launguage used in India] for 3.6.10 ?
