I have now made it so the translatation link only appers when there is something to translate
if one of the users have selected another languages, then a translation icon will appear, leading to text translated from the posters language into the viewing users language.

The script asumes that there will be nothing to translate if both the poster and the viewing user are using the same language as the boards default

e.g. if board default language is english, and both the poster and the viewing user have selected english in theire profiles, then there wil show no translation icon

[Niels]

If you would like to test this mod, then go to "language packs" section, go int 2birthday mod" there are several posts made by users with different language than board default / your profile

you could also temporary change your own language, then you will get "translate this post" on alsmost every other posts, since they are registerd as "english"
but once again, best test result is to go to the language packs forums

[Niels]

development stopped, since none, apperently needed this feature ... mod not implemented in the new version 2.0.2. pre-loaded pack

[Niels]

development maybe started again...demo now availble at this site

beside users post is a small translate icon, this only shows if the posted user have different language than the viewing users language

since most users on this board, have english as there language in there profile, and most users post in english, you can best test this mod, by going into your own profile, and change your language to e.g. german
that way the mod will see you as german, and most of the other users as english, showing a translation icon beside there posts

by pressing this icon, the post will then be translated into your language (if the language translation machine babel.altavista.com can translate the language)

[Niels]

Translate post, is now included in the pre-modded pack

[Niels]

after some time where bablefish translation did not work - due to the fact that bable fish had changed how it worked
It does now work again I have found the new syntax so this mod once again will work

[Niels]

-=ET=- have now made a improved version availble
new version is 0.5.0
