What do you think about a german hackbase?

As long as people make their hacks using the phrases system in the first place

well, this goes back to the quality assurance team that was mentioned in another thread i think. i know that not all hack writers will be doing this, but at least a few will be, so it's a start

and i didn't mean to bring the non-english discussions here, just the hack language packs to be kept with the hack itself, which will negate the need of extra licence checking. ok, so they will still need to register here to be able to download, but i'm sure that this will be acceptable to the users once they see the range and amount of quality hacks here.

You can't simply imagine how many mails I received from people who needed help to buy a licence and to download vbulletin. We've made a faq about this in order to help non english-speaking people. It's not a minority of the french community. So I think it would be difficult to compel our members to have an account on vbulletin.org forum.
Of course, if vbulletin.org could install our french language package, it would be more simple for french people to register here and I would be open to post our translations exclusively in vbulletin.org. I think this forum should have a simple system to choose, for each hack, which language a user desires (if available of course).

vB.org should offer German and French languages once they're completed, and Hacks should contain any additional language XML files if there are any.

That would be great, but I don't think it'll happen that often. For starters, so far only the Hack Tracking Log makes use of XML files with phrases, which makes this whole process easier. And since the HTL is not even finished yet, nobody else can use it at the moment...

When we would get the licensesystem, would you agree to a translation into german language?

i would already agree to translations of my hacks to German, on ONE condition:

no matter what (license system there or not), the only thing that you may place on the site for download are the XML files with the german phrases for each hack, as opposed to english phrases. NO hack files other than those.

That's all

[SkyShadow]

Why do you make this condition?

I do not know, why you and the other users are "against" the german hackportal? We only want to translate the hack, so where is the problem?
Why couldn't we store the hack there? We support the hacks, so why don't you allow that?

I do not believe your opinion!

I'm sorry

i belive its because we cant verify the users who would download the hacks are lisceded

[SkyShadow]

Faranth, I'm not sure, if I understand your post correctly, but when we are online, we will talk with the vBulletin Germany team. Iam in contact with the staff. They will support us, if we are online!
So I hope that we will have access to the licencesystem.
