I've been using a hidden version of that on my site (www.planetunreal.com/modcentral) for a couple of months. I have it using LWP to get the translated page (just the news), as that way I can still keep the nav bar and headers of my page in English. The next version of this hack should be to translate particular posts from language to language. I don't have international boards, so this is no use to me. However, it may be critical if a thread turns bi-lingual. An easy way to do it would be to copy the Edit sub to "Translate" and take out the text areas, then add the form on that page. Pretty it up and you should be all set.
There are only the languages specified because that is all go com provide: Go com is cool because they let you translate on the fly unlike babelfish which has a frustrating middle screen-Go does not restrict by reffere! however I think it offers dutch which may be of use to our dutch friends http://babelfish.altavista.com
Great hack as usual. The only problem that I had with this is that when I leave the page that has been translated to go to another page I find that the cookie is screwed up. Then when I reset the preferences part of it is in English and part in the last language that I chose as well as the rest of the board.
I really like this hack. Any ideas what could be going on?
In V5.45c, can anyone point me to the place in "forumdisplay.cgi" where I can find the change that "NBAustin" noted above? I can't seem to find the exact place in this new version.
