Of course, if vbulletin.org could install our french language package, it would be more simple for french people to register here and I would be open to post our translations exclusively in vbulletin.org. I think this forum should have a simple system to choose, for each hack, which language a user desires (if available of course).

vB.org should offer German and French languages once they're completed, and Hacks should contain any additional language XML files if there are any.

That would be great, but I don't think it'll happen that often. For starters, so far only the Hack Tracking Log makes use of XML files with phrases, which makes this whole process easier. And since the HTL is not even finished yet, nobody else can use it at the moment...
