Great mod indeed. I have a question if you allow me:
I am in a urgent need for a translation service and this mod works just fine, my problem is that I have different forum categories with different languages. But you can set only one language in the adminCP, so when translating, almost all other languages are ignored. IS there a way for a language detection?

[Delilahs]

Ryacine, the person coming onto your site can just click the flag of their countries choice to translate the others

(I think)

I'll do a test on my site and get back to you on here

its not about money , its just i use a forum where translations are not needed, forum is used only by the natives in my country so no foreign people, if i would needed it , i would definitly buy the paid one =)

[ryacine]

Thank you Delilas for your answer. The mod woks like a charm as you said, just by clicking the flag, translation is performed.
My problem is that, my forum is like this:

• Many forums and Categories in English
• A categroy of froums in French
• Another Category in Spanish
• Another one in Protuguese
• Yet another one using Italian

But in the AdminCP options, you must set the forum language, only one language, so I chose let's say "English", so if a user hits one flag all the English content is translated, but not the others, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian will not be translated. My question was: is there a way for language detection or some other method so that all my content is translated?

[Delilahs]

Have you tried not setting the language in the set up screen?

No, I didn't. Mainly due to the author's recommendations:

You MUST configure at least Forum language option.

Edit: I made the test right now, and guess what... It didn't work, ie nothing worked, all you have is a forum empty with no text in it. Very funny.

[MarsNIIT]

Hello,

Please help me error when translate:

[Delilahs]

Michal, on my forum in recent days, when i click on a language, it doesn't change the language at all.

If I hover over a flag with my mouse, it gives the correct url for that country, ie; /forum/ca/forum.php, but once I click on it, it goes to /forum/forum.php

It looks like a rewrite problem, can you advise on what to do on this? I have changed the .htaccess file to the same as your test zone, and although it works on the CMS pages, it doesn't work on the forums.

[RedHacker]

I have one error....

Fatal error: Call to undefined function vbet_getSupportedTranslations() in public_html/includes/class_bootstrap.php(283) : eval()'d code on line 148

[cosy]
