If your asian translation shows strange characters go to AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Language Manager -> Edit Settings -> HTML Character Set and change it to UTF-8


If you use this mod please click Install - cheers!

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)

Mine dont work from google??? and I loaded both to the tea is there a error in the code somewhere?

Got it thank you! Works perfectly!!!

is vBSEO mod_rewrite an issue, i can't get this to work either :/

EDIT: placing this under the form tag works, so vBSEO is NOT an issue

	$vboptions[copyrighttext]
</div>

</form>

anyway, what i don't understand is what this piece of code is for

<a href="javascript:window.location='http://www.ddance.fm/forums'" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.ddance.fm/forums'; return true"
onmouseout="window.status=' '; return true" target="_top">Default language</a>

what is it supposed to do?, it just brings you to the url defined in the script....

[fishhub]

can this work on registered users to translate pages while logged on?

[ChuanSE]

it does, but the translating instance does not uses cookies, that is why the ppl get logged out. This means that every NON PUBLIC page can NOT be translated with this system... (imo)

[Funky Diver]

hmmm... I was going to install til I read that..

If it will work for all users (including logged in) then I would install, but without that it's pretty pointless really :cross-eyed:
