I'm not having much luck finding a solution. Basically I have one site but 2 of my forums are in a diff language. I want to install 2 language packs for them and when user goes into said forum it changes to that language pack. Thanks for any help or work arounds!

This is not the most common solution.

The "language" only defines the user interface, it will not effect any posts. The language is setable per user and that makes most sense. If a user is more comfortable using language A then he probably want to have his user interface everywhere on the board in that language.

That makes sense but suppose a german user wants to register on an english board, then until he registers he cannot switch his settings to german? The registration system should be in their language. Is there a way on my registration page I can add a link to their language? What would the url for that switch be? Thanks!

If this user selects german as language in the language quick chooser, then he will browse the entire board with german user interface, this includes the registration pages.

If you want to have a direkt link to registration in English or German, add the language-id to the URL:

www.myboard.com/register.php?langid=<language-id>

I wish that would happen, but any time I try to install a new language it overwrites my current language at one point it created german language and overwrote my english so both languages were german.

Then you have a problem installing languages.

My first advice is to use only languages that are released at vBulletin.com, as they get checked for things like overwriting the default language before they are made available to the public.

But as i don't know what language file you used and how you installed it, there is not much i can do now for you.

figured it out, there were 2 lang files and i installed the wrong one since i did not understand the file name

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
