It works on VB 3.5.X, too.

This does not work for me, If on the index page it just refreshes, if on any other page it just goes to the index page, any ideas please?

same here !

[phovanxua]

Doesn't work on my site here http://www.hatnang.com

For those people having a problem with this just refreshing, I think it is because you are putting it in between a <form action=...> </form> section. This uses it's own form action...

[Greek76]

My page just refreshes and does not pick the chosen language. If your on an actual forum and choose one of the option I go to an error page....

I use the Google translation system, updated from the An-net hack:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...89#post1108089

No problems under 3.6.1, just read the steps on the link above.

For your information, I use google, because it have less problems with the forum with specific caracters (like french accents)
