Ok i looked a little into the multilingual support.. as I was not satisfied with the solution above. I am using the hack https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98904 by JoergZ for translating customfields and i thought that i could use a few lines of code here. (actually it is a code snippet I posted in that thread to adapt his hack)

The basic idea is: You only need the question translated, you can define the answers in different languages.. so you give the answers in all installed languages.

3 steps to make it work multilanguage with phrases.

Step one:
Modify the product xml:
find:

PHP Code:

$nospamquestion = $qanda[0]; 


below add:

PHP Code:

// ########### Lang hack  ---start ########  
      $questionphrase = ''; 
      $testforphrase = substr(trim($nospamquestion), 0, 1);  
      if ($testforphrase == '$')  
      {  
            $questionphrase = substr(trim($nospamquestion), 1);  
            $nospamquestion = $vbphrase[$questionphrase];  
      } 
// ########### Lang hack  ---end ######## 


Now reinstall the product.xml (with overwrite of course)

Step two:
Go to your phrase manager in the ACP and add a new phrase:

Phrase Type: GLOBAL
Product: vBulletin
Varname: nospam_question_01
Text: How much is 2+2

Then insert the translation for all istalled languages (in my case english, german and french)

German: Wieviel ist 2+2
Fran?ais: Combien font 2+2

Now save the phrase.

Repeat for all your questions using the variables:

Varname: nospam_question_02
Varname: nospam_question_03
Varname: nospam_question_04
Varname: nospam_question_05
............. and so on

IMPORTANT!!!: Write down the question number and the question on a piece of paper !!!! (happened to me.. i didnt remember which variable number was which question)

Now comes step three:

go to your nospam settings and define the questions the following way:
(in our example: How much is 2+2)

$nospam_question_01:4:four:vier:quatre

IMPORTANT: in your nospam setting you MUST set a $ sign in front of the varname you used in the phrases
other example: in your phrases you use the varname nospam_question_04 in your nospam settings you use $nospam_question_04

I hope it is clear.

I tested it on 3.64 and it works for me... THANK YOU for the great hack!!

Forgot to say, that if you dont use the $ in the nospam settings for the question, the question will appear as you entered it. (Like in the original hack)

Hope this helps someone
