Credits:
To google for its translation service

Tested only on Vb3 Rc3 and Rc4. There may have been code changes since betas and gamma to the templates that need to be edited by this hack. If you experience difference in code please post it and ill tell you what to do

**PLZ NOTE THAT WHEN TRANSLATING IT LOGS YOU OUT AND YOU CAN NOT LOG IN ON A TRANSLATED PAGE!** I hope to fix this issue sometime in the future, if anyone has a fix or suggestion on how to fix it is welcome.

Hi ThomasR,

Thank you for you plug-in, I installed in 3.6.2 but don't know what to do to translate. Can you explain me better to a newbie

Just read the AN-net hack txt file of this thread. Only skip the template part related to phpinclude_start, which is in fact the plugin I provided.

After, you have to edit your footer template, and follow the AN-net instructions!

I use Joomla and Google Translation for the home page on my site and have vBulletin linked from menu on main screen.

The translation program has flag buttons and will automatically translate Joomla and vBulletin pages IF visitor first selects language on the main home page.

To see how the translation works with vBulletin go to www.punzhu.com, select language, and click on third menu link titled "Free Magazines" to reach forum section of web site.

can this be used for registered users to translate vb pages?

I don't know, however this is what I've discovered so far...

In a round-a-bout way, I believe it could. First one has to register/login on forum board, then go to main page and select language, then return to forum. Yes, that is a non-elegant method.

I say "I believe" because I'm not familiar with all the workings of vBulletin and am not a coder. Only this month did I add the ability for members to join the forum - prior to that visitors could simply download the puzzles without registering.

When I login now and then do the above mentioned round-a-bout I get the following message: "In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist."

Whether that means I must add my forum login to the whitelist (whatever that is) or whether the message has something to do with google I haven't a clue. It may be a google translation issue.

My main site runs on Joomla but there is no registration required there, nor is there a login form displayed as they are not required for my purposes. There are "bridges" I understand that will link Joomla and vBulletin logins but I haven't tried them.

Bottom line; the translation works fine across Joomla and vBulletin when visitor not registered but I am not experienced enough to know how to correct "whitelist" issue with registered member and thus provide you a definitive answer. Perhaps someone else with more experience will answer your question.
PS: Happy New Year
