Perhaps, but you seem to have a much better grasp of the NNTP, than I so that's a big plus for you, I still struggle understanding so much of FUDforum's basics and NNTP is one of the things I don't understand at all.
jm2morri wrote on Sat, 26 September 2009 08:06Maybe that's a good way to go. I figured doing the translation would be a lot more work than simply forming a URL and displaying it. So let's rephrase this as "it would be nice to have a link to click that would translate the text of a message from one language to another". We'll leave the implementation details to the designers.
I believe it would likely work like selecting a different sized text or colors do, where you select your text, and then select translate and your desired language. But I would have absolutely no idea on how it would be accomplished. Then on the other hand there might be some way to simply translate everything to the users default language set in their profile?

I would do it the same way, if needed but having a translator built in would be a nice feature. There are a lot of good smart people out there that something like that could bridge the language barrier with.
