Is there a mod or someway for forum members to be able to use the forum in their own language?

French, German, Italian, Brazilian, Mexican etc

I did see a language related mod but wasn't certain.

There's the ability to translate the interface - where in a topic, for example, it says 'reply', 'mark unread', etc. so all the buttons are in the right language for someone.

But for translating the *content* that people post, no - especially as things like Google Translate still do get things wrong from time to time.

Incidentally it's generally been shown that the best way to handle that is like done here on this site - have one section for each language that you support.

Most forums don't actually benefit from having multiple languages actively in play.
