fyi- Expanded Language Support for APUG Dedicated Language Forums

[Sean]

Hi All,

I have been working on our APUG dedicated language forums. This is a work in progress but still functional enough that it may be useful for some. I now have language packs and dedicated language forums installed for:

English
French
Dutch
German
Italian (new)

The logo in the site header now controls what system language your APUG viewing will be set in. For example click the Italian tag and you will be taken to the Italian forums + the forum system texts will be in Italian.

I am now working on our registration form so that the languages can also be chosen there.

Any problems just let me know. I will notify our foreign language moderators so they can relay this information to their members.

Thanks!
Sean

P.S. special thanks to APUG member Roberto for taking on the Italian forum translations and moderation. I look forward to seeing how it develops.

Ok, our registration form is updated for language selection

Great News Sean!
I hope it will became a main point for all Italian people, with lot of experiences, tricks and information...
Thanks..

Not sure that I like that hybrid UK/US flag! Didn't you know that Real English and US 'English' are now two totally separate languages?!!

Sorry, it´s not my language, but I don´t like the "mixed" US-UK flag either for the reasons Steve mentioned!

[Sean]

open to suggestions on the EN language flag...

[Steve Smith]

How about the English flag?

The hybrid flag you already have is in reality, probably the best option despite our objections to it. You could have a full Union flag and a full US flag with the same link on each of them.

[Sean]

how about now? I don't need an international incident on my hands :P

(you made need to refresh)

[mono]

Why not stars and stripes and the union jack each? Make a block of six flags above complete... And both flags with the same link as Steve suggested. Will work best and everybody will be happy IMHO ;-)

Ok, have taken a different approach in the main site logo with just text instead. Seems a bit cleaner too...
