README for the [LANGUAGE] LANGUAGE PACK FOR MYBB
This language pack is meant for MyBB 1.4. If you are using a different version of MyBB then please upgrade to the latest version and check if a newer language pack is available. To do so go to http://www.mybboard.net and click Downloads and Translations.
In order to satisfy as many users as possible MyBB is available in a multitude of languages. By default MyBB is installed with the American English language files, but thanks to many volunteers MyBB is also available in other languages. This language pack will allow you to use MyBB in [language].
The [language] text is stored in language files, which are packed in an archive file together with this readme and the [language] translation of this readme. These language files are divided amongst several folders. With this package several image files are also distributed. These images contain the [language] translation for the buttons and the usergroup images.
This readme, the [language] readme and a file called [language].php are in the main folder, the files containing the translations of the text for the front end are in a subfolder called [language] and the files containing the translations of the text for the admin end are in a subfolder called admin in the previously mentioned subfolder [language]. Additionally a folder called images will be present. This folder contains the images with the [language] text.
You will have to create the same folder structure on your server and place the language files in those folders. Below are extensive instructions on how to do this. We will assume you have already extracted the contents of the archive to your computer, which means the files are already available and the folder structure is as it should be. We will also assume you know how to use an FTP program to connect to your server. The tasks below should be executable with any FTP program.
You have now uploaded all necessary files to the server. Read the following paragraphs for more information on how to enable the [language] language on your board.
After uploading the required files you can use the [language] translation for your copy of MyBB. We will hereafter discuss how to use the [language] translation for the front end of the board, how to use the [language] translation for the admin area of the board and how to set the [language] translation as the default language for your board. The default language will be used by guests and users who haven't set a language preference.
4. CHANGES MADE SINCE THE PREVIOUS LANGUAGE PACK
Below are the most obvious changes compared to the previous language pack. Note to translators from Tochjo: you can omit this paragraph if you do not wish to include it or if no previous translation for your language was available. Do not forget to also update the contents at the top of the page if you choose to remove this paragraph. In any case, remove this text.
If you wish to contact the authors of this translation, please go to the Admin CP and click the Configuration tab. After that, click Languages to view the Languages module. There you will find a list of installed language packs and a link to the authors' websites. You can click the links to contact the authors of this language pack. Additionally you can go to the MyBB Community Forums and look in the member list for the translator's name. You could also post a thread in the Internationalization forum there. Your comments are a valuable source of information and we will use your comments to improve future translations!
