Well, thanks for sharing your ideas. Post translation is supposed to be done in a future. I don't have appropriate skills yet to make it in the current release but i'd appreciate any help in PHP coding and in creating this hack.

Thats's the way how it works now. Lang-xxx.php seems to be the best naming convence where xxx = eng, ger, fra, rus, kor, jap, chi, cze, hol, ...


Anyway, i've put all variables, created some PHP files containing variables and translations and with my three beta testers (me, me and me ) i was able to simulate same vB with three different languages (English, Czech, -some-sorta-Klingon- ) running at the same time. I'll take a closer look over MySQL and server performance.

Real pain is how to translate forum names and their descriptions?


I have to confess i forgot about posts containing German, English, etc. words. Without good and stable translator we won't be able to correctly translate posts.
Many boards may run special forum for *foreign* community, ie. English speaking visitors on the German board so translate posts is a strawberry on a cake but i don't give up this idea.

As soon as i finish text replacement for variables and make final tests, i can release the hack as beta (three days, tho).

Another question: how to translate hacks if new is realeased? Do it by hand? It may take much time.
