Excellent plugin, clicks install.

My wish list to make this the perfect plugin for me would be country flags instead of a drop down menu and the ability to stay logged in.

I really like this, but the problem I have is I have a private section that you need access to, and by having this, it forces you to guest. Is there any way to make it so you stay logged in when you switch?

[HeRCuL70]

it's not working at my board. The url is always wrong. How can fix it? the url must begin like http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/urltrurl?lp= but
t never begin like that?

[Tronpxs]

Doesn't work on https sucks it is a cool feature.

[Greek76]

Will this work with 3.6.2? Or is their another hack that does this? I would like convert my board from English to Greek vice versa is it possible?

[fishhub]

does this work for 3.5.4? visited the demo website and has no translation.:surprised:

[LadyHoney]

installed but when i click for a diff lang it takes me out to the registration page which is translated... guests cannot view the board without registering so .... sniffff.. clicks uninstall... we need a work around or sumthing.

[pscyhosis]
