Translating the titles of the different forums/sub-forums

Post by potiron »

Hi,

I am running a website in different languages. We are implementing a new structure for the forums, with a forum for each country: UK, USA, Germany...etc

Our website is available in different languages: English, French, ...etc
Therefore I would like to have the titles translated depending on the language used on the forum (with the variable language=). Which means:
language=english
Forums:
- Uk
- USA
- Germany
- ...

language=francais
- Royaume Uni
- Etats Unis
- Allemagne
- ...

each forum being the same.

Can you help doing this?

The URL could be:
/forums/en/uk/my-topic-xyz.htm

/forums/fr/royaume-uni/my-topic-xyz.htm

Additional question: is there a risk of duplicate content for google? How to manage this?

Any help (including paying for implementing a solution - please contact by PM) is more than welcome.

Best regards

Moved to Mod Requests.

Having separate titles for each forum for each language would require a mod. You would also need a mod to link your language selection to the URL.

So far I have decided to use the standard phpbb without mod (I will just ad a field in the profile to select the nationality and display a flag). I will write the forum ttle in English and the other languages will be listed in the comment of the forum.
It is simpler and more flexible for future upgrade (and safer) I think.

GREAT :)
But instead of "bilingual" the mod should be "multi-lingual" (it shouldn't be very different) so we can implement as many languages as we want.
And yes, a separate mode for forum titles will be really appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!

As is wrote in (in german) in Dev-Thread:
"More Languages can be, bun not must be." First it must be perfect in Bilingual .. and that is the "allmost wish" of users and admins, so my intention was in the first degree, to code a clean and well solution for this. Further a real (and slim) Multilanguage-Forum is very, very hard to code (without make a offblast of forum- and database-load). Maybe it is impossible without a spectrum of overloads yet (and than only for real full servers).. otherwise, maybe exists a "big trick" and a genius come over me @ night ;)
