XF 2.2 Multilanguage forum?

[Bob de Bouwer]

Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible with XF to make it multilanguage.
For example : IPS has the option, when you make a forum node in ACP to enter the "title" in English, and other language you've installed on the forum.
And when members select their language, forum names are also in theire language.

I need something like this, beceause it is an international forum, not only English.

Hope someone can help with this.
Regards
Bob

To my knowledge, it is not possible. Have you considered the chaos that could be created by having a multilingual category but not having the translation of titles and messages? There would be many different languages present within the same category and it would be difficult for users to understand what is being written.

In this case, as previously mentioned, it would make much more sense to establish categories for each language, so that there is a clear and simple understanding for all users.

That's at least my thoughts on the matter.

Hi there,

Thanks you for your respons.
The forum where it's for ,all topics/titles/messages etc. speaks for it's self, so this would not be a problem.
But i would like the forum Titles in different languages.

Thanks for your respons

Here's what I found:

Language Nodes

For sites that cater to multiple languages and countries xenforo is challenging because there is no multilingual solution. The problem is this: We cater to specific groups of members who are interested in content from one, two or more languages, but are likely not interested in content in...

xenforo.com

If I recall correctly, and I might be wrong about the platform I used years ago, it might not have even been XF, you could work around to make some things in the desired language by adding new phrases to the language file and then calling the variables in the fields that were needed."

That being said, I'm not very up-to-date on the current documentation of XenForo and we hope you receive an official response for this.

Hello, I solved the multilingual problem with the following method. I added 14 languages with an external translation site and installation. I broadcast in Turkish from only 1 source. My translation system automatically translates it into 14 languages.

I did not set up a sub domain. I added it to the main directory. For example, when someone from Germany enters, they access the https://yerliotomobil.com/de/ extension and indexes of my forum site. In France, it accesses the content of https://yerliotomobil.com/fr/. However, since xenforo does not support multiple languages, visitors from foreign countries cannot open any topics on https://yerliotomobil.com/de/ They can only give likes. Or during the registration phase, the native language URL is returned for registration. In other words, even if a visitor to Germany who wants to enter data registers, he does not send new topics or messages via the Germany link.

For example, Turkish spelling was translated into German. Visitors to Germany see it on Google, in their own language. But after you sign up, the Germany link does not allow threads or messages. If Xenforo opens the functionality and allows the same database to be used, the whole problem will disappear. I hope we expect this.
