Hallo,

the vB3 offers the chance to have multi languages, but at the moment it is unfortunally only for registred / logged-in users possible to select a language. Guests / not logged-in users will see always the default language.


With this modification you can offer your guests / not-logged-in users an option to select a language, so they can see the forum and the registration in the selected language. Further the selected language will be set during the registratin as default for the new user.


Short-description

Language-Selection for not logged-in users


Requirements
  • vB3 RC1 or higher (Tested up to 3.0.7) NOTE !! For installation on 3.0.8 or above read this posting !! Thanks to Khashyar for finding this change !
  • Of cource more than one installed language, otherwise this modification make no sense
Installationtime

about 5 minutes


The use of this modification is as always at your own risk !

Update 05. January 2004 (added version 2)

Update 09. March 2004 (added version 3)

Update 27. March 2004: Tested in 3.0.0 Gold



Version 1:

In this version you have to enter for each language a menue-entry manually

Version 2:

This version detects the selectable languages automaticly and the menue-entries are created automaticly too. To get the menue-entries, the function "Use DHTML Popup Menus" must be activated. This version has an additional query with each page-call. If you don't like this, use version 1.

Version 3:

This version is based on version 1, but it detects the browser-language automatic and shows the board in the language of the user. This automatic-detection of the user-language was realised by WildChild. Thanks for this extension of my hack. Note the difference to my version 2: My Version 2 detects the installed languages automatic, version 3 detects the language which is set in the users browser !



Note: A german version of the installation-instructions you will find here at vbulletin-germany.com

That's a nice hack - but I would love to have one more thing: Is it somehow possible to have the installed languages displayed automatically? It's just, that we already have four languages: English, German, French and Luxemburgish - and we will have a fifth soon (Italian). I would love to not have to change the templates for every language again -> /me being lazy

Possible is nearly everything... It is always a question of time.

But I don't like the idea not so much. Not because of the time, but such a change would mean you have additionally querys everytime a guest loads the main-page.

For my board I would prefer the template-editing solution instead of having additionally querys. I mean you are not installing a new language every week..

If you insist upon this automatic, I will see if I have time and if I could manage it.

The additional query (should be one) would only be for the guests, right? Well, that should be manageable by the server

This is a wonderful hack... thank you for posting it...

I am actually looking for a similar hack for VB2.x...

I have five language templates on my websites vb (www.russianmeetingplace.com/forums), and would like to find a way for users to be able to register in their own language...

I would appreciate if anyone has any ideas..

Thanks,

Khashyar

Nice to hear you like my improvement Khashyar.

For vB2, have a look here.

With this hack, you can add a style-seleciton on your forum-home page.
