Multiple Language Board

[Phasar]

I would like to set up SMF to work in mulitple languages, specifically english and russian. I want to put a small link on the top of the page to change between languages, but I want the posts to show in their original languages. I downloaded the russian theme, but I don't want the board just in russian. Is there a way I can do this? Or do I have to set up the board twice, each accessing the same database?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Frank

1.1 rc2 has an option located at
Admin>Features and Options>Basic Features>Enable user-selectable language support

Turning this option on will allow users to select which language file they use. It will not affect the default selection.

But how do I install the Russian language pack without overwriting the english?

[Thantos]

Language files are named in such a way that one language won't overwrite another language.

For example:
Admin.english.php
Admin.russian.php

I did, no instructions included

i deleted my post but Thantos is correct.

I'm uploading it now. I'll let you know how it works out

[Phasar]

I uploaded it and installed the theme, but I don't have a clue if it's working. I don't have the language option appearing on the top of the page, and I did turn on the option in the admin settings

[sawz]

are the language packs installed in the theme your using?

[Phasar]

They should be. The language packs are for Babylon, classic and default, and I'm using default

I don't have the language option appearing on the top of the page,

Thats a custom option which is only available on this site.

To change a language go to your profile > Account Settings > Preferred Language

Well, that doesn't do me any good. I want multiple language. Can I have the mod you used on this site?

[Grudge]

Phaser - you could add something like this to index.template.php:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna


', ($context['user']['language'] == 'english' ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?language=russian">Switch to Russian</a>' : '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?language=english'>Switch to English</a>'), '


Somewhere within the existing HTML.

[Phasar]

I suppose I could.
Where would I add it?

Is this going to be available to the rest of us at any point. Maybe the next version release???
