Hi dxmofo

Changing all the text in each and every Layout Template of a theme to a different language would be massive project. You might want to try dropping in a google translate widget into your Global Header and see if the results are acceptable. The coding below has some minor styling as well as the script.

Each person viewing the forum can have the pages translated into the language of their choice.  However, the translations aren't always 100% accurate.

<!-- Google Translate -->
<style>
.translate-box {
    font-size:10px; 
    background: #A8D6F4;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-color: #000000;       
    border-radius: 5px;          
    padding:5px; 
    text-align:left;
    margin-bottom: 7px;
}
.translate-box > div {
    float: left;
}
</style>
<div class="translate-box ui-helper-clearfix">
<div id="google_translate_element"></div>
<div style="margin-left:10px;">YOUR-MESSAGE-GOES-HERE</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
  new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE, multilanguagePage: true}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
<!-- End of Google Translate -->

Translate it yourself, its not a lot. I did it too.

Go to layout templates and translate, but not everything, only black colored words which are not bold.

I was searching the forum about this, because only thing I cant find is how to translate buttons and some other things as the day of the posts. Is it even possible to translate buttons?
