language interface - forum

Hello,

when users login they will be forwarded to their forum profile and when they want to edit their profile they automaticly forwarded to edit their forum profile..thats working great.

i want to make it so, that when a user login the whole site is in the language that is stored in the database (user_lang)....is that possible ?

if so, could some1 point me in the good direction ?

i tried to change the "get_lang" function in mainfile.php but then only the language of the modules do change, but not the main page (
interface)

Hmmmm. I always thought that happened automatically. Can you describe how to produce a situation where it doesn't?

hi,

maybe i did'nt explain it good (sry for that)

when a user does login then they can edit their forum-profile. one of the things they can change is the language. so when a user change's the language to german instead of english and save's his profile.. the forum is in german language but the interface is still in english

Hi izone,

thanks

yup i saw that code addon allready and its working, BUT...

when user log-out (and cookie destroyed) and then login again, the forum language is in the language he has set in his profile, but the phpnuke-interface language is the default one again (english)

From a users point of view and a site with internatioal uses who discussed this in our forums..some things got translated others didnt...Im not sure what or why this was.
Anyway I decided to use a google site translator in my quick search forums/topics/google/translator block.
Draw nbacks
1/Althu it didnt provide all the languages, eg Sth African, google did have many opitions to use a language similar
2/slower load of page, so I sugested they use open new page in their browser
The feed back from from members was positive to this alternative, in http refers I see it is used frequently
I read a item earlier this morning about nuke 8 or something that refered to improved language translation.
