vB Version: 3.0.0 Rating: (2 votes - 5.00 average) Installs: 58
Released: 03 Jan 2004 Last Update: 09 Mar 2004 Downloads: 57
Not Supported Code Changes  

PLEASE CLICK THE INSTALL BUTTON IF INSTALLED!


Hallo,

the vB3 offers the chance to have multi languages, but at the moment it is unfortunally only for registred / logged-in users possible to select a language. Guests / not logged-in users will see always the default language.


With this modification you can offer your guests / not-logged-in users an option to select a language, so they can see the forum and the registration in the selected language. Further the selected language will be set during the registratin as default for the new user.


Short-description

Language-Selection for not logged-in users


Requirements
  • vB3 RC1 or higher (Tested up to 3.0.7) NOTE !! For installation on 3.0.8 or above read this posting !! Thanks to Khashyar for finding this change !
  • Of cource more than one installed language, otherwise this modification make no sense
Installationtime

about 5 minutes


The use of this modification is as always at your own risk !


Jörg


Update 05. January 2004 (added version 2)

Update 09. March 2004 (added version 3)

Update 27. March 2004: Tested in 3.0.0 Gold



Version 1:

In this version you have to enter for each language a menue-entry manually

Version 2:

This version detects the selectable languages automaticly and the menue-entries are created automaticly too. To get the menue-entries, the function "Use DHTML Popup Menus" must be activated. This version has an additional query with each page-call. If you don't like this, use version 1.

Version 3:

This version is based on version 1, but it detects the browser-language automatic and shows the board in the language of the user. This automatic-detection of the user-language was realised by WildChild. Thanks for this extension of my hack. Note the difference to my version 2: My Version 2 detects the installed languages automatic, version 3 detects the language which is set in the users browser !



Note: A german version of the installation-instructions you will find here at vbulletin-germany.com

Sweet..
I managed to make it a drop down menu for memeber/guests as I have about 6 languages and can't put them all in navbar

The link will show always, but the options for guests will show to guests and will only show member options for members love it

Fine.. I think for members it is not really necessary, because no one changes the language after he selected it once, but I think for guests it should be standard... Well, maybe in 3.1.0

one question

Hey,
I'm trying to install it now, and I'm not sure how to do the last step, where you wrote to add a phrase to the group GLOBAL and translate them as I want. where should I add it? and what exactly should I add/translate?
Thanks!

You must add them in AdminCP -> Phrase Manager

Then click on "Add new phrase"


Phrase Type is GLOBAL

Varname is as described in my hack

translation as you want



Best regards

Jörg

Sorry, i am not using VBindex.

But somehow it should work with that together too..

I don't know if someone already use it with VBindex.


Best regards

Jörg

excellent hack but how about user registration choice?

I run a board, default language, Japanese. Board has this browser language mod added so an GUEST english user sees the site in english. He registers in english. Then logs in and has to somehow navigate through a JAPANESE page to somehow find the user CP and go into a JAPANESE user CP to change his language to english.

Most english users can not read Japanese.

The language selection should be at registration as it is on our phpbb.
