As for the language-packs released on here - that's all fine, and will work somewhat of course, but we don't want french and/or german Hack DISCUSSIONS here, now do we? We want to keep this site English, so as far as I'm concerned, the french and german vB-sites that provide hacks should only (no more!) have hack language packs attached in their posts, and nothing else.

Just to clarify our stance towards a German Hacks Site. We will only support a site "officially" when the site is running, is professional and has some (must not be a lot) interest being shown within the vB-G community. I have told this to all the people who have asked me if they can start a hacks site. I have always taken a neutral stance towards their efforts.

I believe KuraFires idea of a central hacks database here at vB.org with open langauge files is a really good one. I hope all vB Hackers make use of the language system so that this can be done. That will save everyone a lot of time in the end, especially the hack users.

As for vB2 Hacks. Of course these hacks aren't langauge independant and must be translated directly within the code. This means the code must be released to the translater. My only suggestion is, say what I did,"Show me your intentions are genuine, show me your site and if it looks presentable, you have my blessing." Again, if the site is running, looks professional and there is interest, getting it "official" in order to protect your code from non-vB customers is not a problem.

I hope this clarifies our position on the subject.(especially for those who have shown interest in starting a site)
