Read the install instructions in english, it's clearly stated on how to import the language file.

[ellinofatsa]

ok thanks its ok now i thing that is the best chat for vb4

is that inposible to play youtube videos on the chat??

[Trumpetrhapsody]

Loving this chatbox so far, many more features than the competition, and works better and across more phones/browsers! Thanks!

Couple of things:

- I've noticed in a few places that even after importing the language file (tried multiple times) there are still some French phrases. The main ones I noticed were the default text input field, and some of the email/pm fields for banning.

- Some users (and I've had it happen to me once or twice) are complaining that the shoutbox sticks at "Loading..." and won't load the shouts.

These are all options buddy Up to you to configure them.

Well I'd need to know when exactly that happens and also if you got any js error when it achieved so.
Best would be to have firebug installed for example if you have firefox and having it active when the stucking happens so that I could see what the console shows regarding http requests and so on.

[Trumpetrhapsody]

Ah gotcha, just didn't know if the stock text should be French or not, I'll customize it.

Here is the error firebug throws:
AJAX Error: Status = 0: communication failure /clientscript/vbulletin-core.js?v=403 (line 11)

Sometimes if I refresh the page a bunch of times it'll start working, sometimes not.
