How many modifications would I need to make to have it so that I can force a language to be used? eg if I goto www.mybbforum.com/showthread.php?tid=1&lang=de then it uses the german language files, but by default it uses english?

Would it be hard to do? And even better, would it be possible from a plugin?

Thanks

Open the file global.php and search for:

// Set and load the language
if(!isset($mybb->settings['bblanguage']))
{
	$mybb->settings['bblanguage'] = "english";
}

Add below:

switch ($mybb->input['lang']) {
case "de":
   $mybb->settings['bblanguage'] = "german";
   break;
case "it":
   $mybb->settings['bblanguage'] = "italian";
   break;
}

You should be able to use the hook global_start to use a plugin.

Thanks, I'll try that out later
