hack for multiple language support

[divisortheory]

Well, this is my last attempt at getting help with this problem. I really wish I was better at PHP so I didn't have to keep coming back here and posting this and getting no response, but anyway...

My forum supports multiple languages using the Phrase Manager. This works great for menus, standard text, etc but it doesn't work for the title and description of each forum. The reason is that in the Admin CP I am only allowed to choose one and only name for the forum. Now, regardless of what Language a visitor to the forum chooses, they will only see the one and only one title that I have chosen for the forum (likewise with description).

What I would like is to be able to add a phrase through Phrase Manager, and insert a translation for all of the languages that my forum supports. Then, somehow have the title and description fields reference these variable, and have the vBulletin system choose the correct translation based on the language setting. Just as an example, say I have a simple forum with only one forum called Milk. My forum supports two langauges, English & Spanish. If the user has selected English, I want it to say "Milk", and if the user has selected Spanish, it should say "Leche".

I looked at index.php, and I see some code that could maybe potentially be changed. (btw, I don't know -anything- about PHP although I am experienced in other non web related languages, so I just pinpointed this as potential code, I don't know specifically what its doing)

foreach ($parentlist AS $forumID)
{
$forumTitle =& $vbulletin->forumcache["$forumID"]['title'];
$navbits['forumdisplay.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "f=$forumID"] = $forumTitle;
}

What would be some appropriate code to do it and where would I put that code?

Thanks kindly for any suggestions
