I am testing FUDForums for a multi-lingual (Chinese & English) web site, and I'd like the visitor to see FUDForums in Chinese if they clicked a link from the Chinese site and see FUDForums in English if they clicked a link from the English site. Is this possible and how do I do it? Thanks a lot!

You can do that but you need to a bit of code that would change the user's theme to the one utilizing the desired language of choice.

First of all create 2 themes, call them "english" and "chinese".

Then open users.inc.t and look for the line which says:

define('fud_theme', 'theme/' . ($u->theme_name ? $u->theme_name : 'default') . '/');

Above this line you can do

if (!empty($_GET['theme'])) {
$u->theme_name = $_GET['theme'];
}

Would this change need to be replicated elsewhere? I made the change and tried adding ?theme=Chinese_traditional to the URL but this does not seem to have any effect. Or maybe I am not changing the URL correctly?

You need to rebuild the theme after making the change.

Well, you may want to store the value inside the cookie and fetch it from there.

on my site this works now with:

if (!empty($_COOKIE["sprache"])){
$u->theme_name = $_COOKIE["sprache"];
}

if (!empty($_GET['theme'])) {
$u->theme_name = $_GET['theme'];
setcookie("sprache", $_GET['theme'], time()+36000);
}
