First off, yeah wrong forum
Second off, not sure if it's possible but perhaps someone else can clue in on this.
First off, lets use the milk example.
Name a forum "milk"
Then add a hook in global_start to do something like
Code:
$forum[title] = $vbphrase[forumnames_$forum[title]];
Now, create a global phrase called
forumnames_milk
with a translation for each language Milk, Leche, etc
Wonder if that would work...
If not, you'll have to do like a mass replace in the templates changing
$forum[title]
to
$vbphrase[forumnames_$forum[title]]
and then add a global phrase.
Do that for each forum, that's prolly your best bet *shrug*
