[Niels]

I have on reqest, made a mod, witch makes it posible to change the sites language, depending on witch forum the user is browsing.

this makes it posible to have one forum for "english", while another forum is for "italian"..

it's a simple MOD - and I haven't made a ACP interface, the froum ID and language for the specific forum is hardcoded into the MOD - you may change this so it fits your need.
