Originally I have not planned to bring my Hack "Language Selection for Guests" to vB 3.5, because in 3.5 the language can be selected with the drop-down menu at the bottom.

But I was asked to make the automatic language-detection in 3.5 available. In case others are maybe interested in that too, I bring it here as new hack for vB 3.5

Short-description

This Hack detects the browser-language automatic and shows the board in the language of the user, if the user has never been at your board before or has no cookie for your board.

The automatic-detection of the browser-language was realised by WildChild

Requirements

vB 3.5 Gold (Tested up to 3.5.1)
Of course more than one installed and selectable language, otherwise this modification makes no sens

Installation-time

about 1 minutes

PLEASE CLICK THE INSTALL BUTTON IF INSTALLED!

Updates

01.10.2005 Thanks to the help of KirbyDE, now a standard-hook is used, so no code-modification is necessary

------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to test the hack after installing, do it like this:

- Log out of your forum. Dont klick any of the displayed links after logging out !
- Close your browser-window
- Open a new browser-window
- Set your language preferences in the browser
- Go to your forum homepage

Thanks for this confirmation.

I had no time yet to test it on the new 3.5.4 version.

Best regards

Can we use the plugin to make some sort of button to let users switch back n forth between 2,3 or 4 languages? Like

[English][Chinese][Japanese]

Thanks!

This Hack detects only automatic the browser-language. For changing the language, there is for 3.5.x no separate hack necessary, because the function is available through the drop-down menu in the footer.

Changing the language with a button, was only possible with the old version of this hack for vB 3.0.x. (In vB 3.0.x it was not possible in the standard to let guests changing the language)

Due to my limited time at the moment, there is no way, that I can extend the hack with this option.

Best regards

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare rk_getenvvar() (previously declared in /home/xxx/public_html/includes/init.php(317) : eval()'d code:50) in /home/xxx/public_html/includes/init.php(317) : eval()'d code on line 180
