What's this hack all about ?
XOOPS Multilanguages is a heavily hacked version of XOOPS allowing the implementation of multilingual XOOPS sites.
XOOPS Multilanguages has 2 main functionnalities. First, it allows the user to easily change the language of the site. A Select your language block is provided with this package but you can also adapt your site theme (as this site did : look at the top right corner of the site !).
The second functionnality is the Language Tags. This is what will make the content of the site multilingual. It works as any other Xoops Code, ie with brackets [], and in nearly every text area !
When language tags are used, the site will only return the content placed inside the language tags of the selected language.
Here is an example. Let's suppose I write this in a forum post :

When this post is viewed by a user, the hack will hide everything that is not inside the tags of the selected language. If the user has selected the french language, only this line will be displayed :
Quote:
However, if the selected language was english, then only this text would be displayed :

Please note that in this example, I used dots (.) in the language tags. This would not work on a XOOPS Multilanguages site. I had to used them in order to show you how it is working.
What is SmartLanguage ?[adsense]8f2094c223bafef17f88e17668f3cff0[/adsense]
SmartLanguage is the module managing the different functionnalities of XOOPS Multilanguages.
This module allows the webmaster to configure the language tags for each language installed on the site.
It also manages custom smarty tags. With this functionnality, the webmaster can create unlimited smarty tags in every languages. Those smarty tags can then be used in themes and templates and they will be displayed according to the language selected by the user.
Finally, this module manages the Select your language block allowing user to select their prefered language.
What's the current version ?
The current release of XOOPS Multilanguages can be found here.
Where could I get some help ?

Where can I see this module in action
