Adding Languages To Site

[JohnnyV]

I've been noticing a lot of recent signups are coming from across the Atlantic, which is a great thing!

I want to add some accommodations for these users, by adding a language chooser to the site. I just need to know which language packs to download.

So, I'm leaving it up to the users. What language packs should I be adding to the site? From what I've seen so far, the three choices will be...

English
French
German

Keep the languages coming if you'd like to see them on the site.

If german is just for me, you don't need it. I like english more.
But I guess there are more germans here than me.

Sounds great. I think French, German and probably Spanish (also for south american visitors) should do a lot to keep foreign users happy. I wanted to give your packs a quick testrun (I speak a little bit of german as well), but I think I'm missing something... where is the button to switch language? Or does it automagically detect the language I have set on my pc?

[JohnnyV]

I still have to download them, expect them to be up either later today or tomorrow. I'll let everyone know when I get them installed.

Was wanting to get an idea of other languages people would want to see.

[Centaur]

ah, that's why I couldn't find them... from your 'edit' I thought you'd already installed them.

[JohnnyV]

ah yea, something else needed my attention before I could get around to it. Once I get them installed, then please let me know how they turned out.

If you feel like adding Swedish it could be interesting, but since I think I'm the only one so far that's not a big deal. I can use eitehr English, German or Spanish if I want some variance

Not the only one, I'm Swedish and I know at least one more swede here, we're just lurking, but English is fine for me at least

Ok, the languages have been added. You can find the drop down menu in the bottom left hand corner of the site. While testing the feature, i noticed it doesn't effect the actual content of the site.

Therefore, either later today or tomorrow I will be adding a Google translate feature to the site as well. It will appear on all the threads. Depending on how much it slows down the loading time of the site, it will either stay or go.

Also, for some reason the French language pack was being extremely stubborn. So, sorry France, I'll try and find a pack that actually works later.
