International forum

hi all!

i'm looking to have a website developed into a forum with the capacity to change for 5 languages.

does anyone have any suggestions about this?

i've seen e-commerce sites that will change language if you click on the flag at the top of the page, but i'd like this type of capacity for a forum. is it possible?

if so, please offer some tips as to how that would be done/what would be needed.

thank you!

Hello,

It depends on what you expect for the posts (threads).
If you want to translate everything including threads, it is rather easy.
If you only want the forum pages to be translated, and the threads to be leaved as-is, it has to be a feature of the forum software. So you may read the "features" page of each of these softs.
- http://www.invisionpower.com/products/board/features/
- http://www.phpbb.com/about/features/?from=submenu&sid=9ae261086e254f1a1158e83633acd2a4
- etc ..

One good start is to read this too : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_(PHP)

Have a nice day,
