Well someone requested this as a hack, but it ended up being a template modification so it's here. :)

Anyway, what this does is adding a drop down menu with a list of languages, and you just select one and the thread will be translates.

The install this, add the following HTML code:

Code:

        <td align="center"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><smallfont><b>Translate Thread:</b><br>

        <select name="lang" onchange="window.location=('http://fets3.freetranslation.com:5081/?Url=path_to_forums%2Fshowthread.php%3Fs%3D%26threadid%3D$threadid&Sequence=core&Language='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">

                <option value="-1" selected>Please select direction:</option>

                <option value="English/Spanish">English to Spanish</option>

                <option value="English/French">English to French</option>

                <option value="English/German">English to German</option>

                <option value="English/Italian">English to Italian</option>

                <option value="English/Norwegian">English to Norwegian</option>

                <option value="English/Portuguese">English to Portuguese</option>

                <option value="Spanish/English">Spanish to English</option>

                <option value="French/English">French to English</option>

                <option value="German/English">German to English</option>

                <option value="Italian/English">Italian to English</option>

                <option value="Portuguese/English">Portuguese to English</option>

        </select></smallfont></td></tr></table></td>

right before this:

Code:

<td align="center">$adminoptions</td>

in your showthread template.

You only need to change the red part, like this. If the forum is at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum you need to replace the red part with "www.vbulletin.com%2Fforum" (you drop the http:// and change / into %2F as you can see!).

That's it.

Hey buddy,

I take it that if that server goes down so does the translation.
I got on an hr ago with yours but their site must be down. hehe.

Is there an alternative site to go to if this one should go down?

Yup, if that site goes down the translator won't work.
And no, I don't know of another site that offers this server.

Firefly, have a question my bb is completely password potected,..you can not view my forums without being logged in as a registered user,...can this hack be modified to account for that? I installed it and everythime i tried to use it , i was returned to my bb login screen translated into whatever language i selected??? maybe? hopefully?

how about

http://translation.lycos.com/

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

and looks like freetranslation is load balanced or using round robin dns on several servers

fets1.freetranslation.com
fets2.freetranslation.com
fets3.freetranslation.com
fets4.freetranslation.com
fets5.freetranslation.com

I am having this same problem.
Even me the administrator.
You would think that when your users are logged in that they would be able to use this service:

Any one who can help me with this is appreciated.
:confused:
