Best way to translate your forum?

Is there a way to change translations for non-English forum? Besides Javascript.

Hello Tonight,
Other then following the tutorial linked below you would need to use google translate or right click the page and choose "Translate Page" but this feature is only available on certain browsers.

I mean like main words. For example, forum -> foorum. To change things into my language.

Is it that the language your forum is using is not fully translated?

Try using a google translator widget:

Yes, there are things that still appear in English.

Yes, I think when you translate English into other languages, it just uses Google Translate.

Plus, there are a lot of English words on my non-english forum.

Some languages are not fully translated.

Right, but can the entire forum lettering be accessible by the founders so we can change some words?

You would want to try and contact Buttercup for this sort of issue. She might be able to help and she also can get the Technicians to help if it is needed but she would be the best person to contact.

No all Forum languages have to be done on the translating tool that is on the server side that only pro admin's have the right to enter or our tech staff.

Not 100% sure who you will need to talk to about this as we don't have a pro admin for all forums we host.
What i can do i as Buttercup for you and then pm you back with what she has told me Wink

Right now we would say not to pm Buttercup and ask we will do this for you and see if there is anyone that can do this for you.

we may have to get The godfather to do it when all the words are all translated
