The Biohaze Community Forums have been updated with five new language packs. You can choose between French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, as well as the previously available English and Japanese.

For a better experience, you are now able to quickly change the language by clicking one of the flags in the navigation bar (default style only).

Please remember that posting on the forum should still be conducted in English unless otherwise allowed by a forum staff member.

Cool.

Nicely done Rod. Always coming up with fresh new gadgets for the site to grow.

I don't really speak any of these languages, so its not a difference for me, since I stay with English. But its cool for other people.

Can we have support for some of the more indecipherable bollocks we've been getting lately?

I will ask though...what's the point? If the board tolerated people speaking their native languages, and we had enough of them then fair enough. But we don't. When people have spoken their native tongue in the past they've been told to speak English. Wouldn't the boards appearing in their own language encourage them to speak their own language as well?

Or are they expected to read the board in (for example) Spanish, but post in English? Would be a little confusing for them i'd imagine?

No realmente=Not really

Stu: the boards have had other languages before like Japanese and (at some point, but not anymore due to the lack of members using it) Chinese, though, we didn't have any trouble with uses posting in their mother tongue -as stated in the ToS-. The new ones are available to translate the board's functions such as navigation bar, descriptions, user control panel, etc. Several members requested this feature because, while all users we have are able to write in english, to some of them is difficult to perform forum tasks such as modifying profile settings, reading FAQs, etc.

Thx Rod
