Translation to different languages Automatically ?

[codejet]

1. Hi simple question wondering how nodebb translates languages. I am not familiar in this area. Obviously its not automatic I've visited from a few countries proxies and its still english.. so..

2. Can you direct users from diff countries to link that serves for their language ? ie say german if lang="de" link added to a redirect link ?

This would be a handy feature, unless it internally already translates ... but I don't think it does

Possibly. Right now there are two places where languages are set.

• System default (set in ACP), applies to guests and users with no language preference
• User profile setting (set in UCP)

We could add some logic so that if a query string contains lang, we could serve that translation...

@julian My current setup, currently redirect w/ GEOIP to subdomain of country, and then after sends that country to a specific country nodebb category.

If it were possible to make that redirect link have argument lang= it would also make 1 nodebb instance interact with multiple countries , the languages of which I think you guys are currently still continuing developing but is already supported quite well in nodebb.

This is on master now, adding ?lang=<language_code> to the url will serve the forum in that language.

Does this mean I need to do the master dance ? is there any way to pull it into my 0.7.1. Just wait for the next release I guess @julian said they will be more frequent now so maybe that's not so bad

Keep in mind we say this for every release So far it's not working out as intended.

seems to get error:

24/7 13:31 [4836] - warn: [translator] Language 'undefined' not found. Defaulting to 'en_GB'

ok well it's working a treat now. not sure why, actually it doesn't like working form localhost that would most likely be the prob
