That could cause some problems with your urls. If you had a forum called Forum and the url would be forumdisplay.php?2-Forum and then you change it to Foro and then the url is forumdisplay.php?2-Foro How would you handle that?

first i would to thank you Lynne,
the problem is that a i have vbseo ! i dont have any number of forums on the url

excuse me i am newbie in vb but i think that it wouldnt cause problem because there is always an ID of the forum

Did you try the other hack on your test site and see if it works? Some mods, if they are only php, not template changes, will work just fine on 4.x.

i had tested it on my vb4 but it dosent work
have you please an alternative way to translate that forums name's ?

You may be able to write a plugin to change the names, but I do not have any code handy to do that. Perhaps someone else can offer suggestions.

I will release this very soon for vB 4.

good news man ! i would to thank you
i have also visited your forum and i like the style you use

for the mods i posted a thread in vbseo forums and they tell me that i must use only forums ID's in the url to not crash the SEO building structure:

If you are going to use a mod like this, you should be using Id's only in the urls, ie
/f123/ so that the url doesn't change.
