Translating Xenforo threads, does anyone run a multi-language Xenforo site?

I ran across IGN how they have numerous ign subdomains (ex: es.ign.com ) and it got me thinking about our Xenforo forums.....

1. Does anyone run a multi-language xenforo forum? If so do you just have different language areas?

2. What if we created multiple subdomains - had an RSS feed to automatically pull all our english posts - then automatically google translate it - then automatically post on the subdomain.

Is something like that even possible?

Wonder if installing xenforo on numerous subdomains like IGN so we could pull in countries worldwide to discuss our same topics but in their own language.

To me this would be huge but what are your thoughts on 'how' to run a multi-language forum within one install or multiple installs.
 
Automatic translation is pretty poor. I have considered it, but do not see it as an option. I have a forum category in English, Dutch, German and have social groups for 181 countries.
It would be very useful if Xenforo would cater to multilingual websites, but currently that's not the case.
One solution I see is use a multisite / single sign on to connect multiple installations. Unfortunately Naathans addon is deleted.
 
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.
