Guest language switcher

Post by MichaT »

i have upgraded my multi-language-board from 3.0.11 to the current release 3.2.5.

Now im looking for a language switcher on the top of the page to let guests switch between the installed languages.

I searched the forum and used google to find one but it looks like there is no such extension.

I think a drop-down-box with all installed languages near the search-box or somewhere below at the toolbar would be nice for guests.

thx Michael

This, IMHO, is a small extra but very user friendly/useful and shouldn't be all that difficult to make (not for me). It's something I would even welcome as a default feature.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Is that a page translator (which would translate the whole page including user-based content, like HifiKabin's), or does it switch phpBB language for guests (by using the phpBB translations)?

yes, this is for guests only to switch between all installed languages.
