Changing language and how to add image on the threads

[abdullah]

I dont know where i was going to write on a thread, so i am gonna write here. I joined a forum for some years ago then it was a norwegian language which was pretty awesome. So now i am finished for making a forum for high school tournament but i dont know how to add image on the threads for example a logo from high school tournament and how to change a language. I saw one guy here who knew how to do that "You could try using Google Translate. You should be given a code that you can place on your forum." how do i do that?

That is, unfortunately, no longer an option since the Google Translate Widget was discontinued back in 2019. It was briefly revived in 2020 for sites that dispensed covid-19 information, but that brief reprieve seems to have also passed.

Currently, on the Proboards V5 platform you have access to the theme layouts and can change wordings manually but certain items such as dynamically created buttons and menus would, of course, be unaffected unless you use a script or plugin to address those after they've been created...

Edit:

Although the widget with all its bells and whistles is no longer supported by Google you can add a dropdown to your forum that allows the user to select a specific translation manually

note:

Depending upon configuration, the old widget could perform an automatic translation upon page load either by auto-detecting the visitor's chosen language or via a starting language specified in settings

1. Go to Admin > Structure > Headers & Footers
2. Click on Global Header & Footer
3. In the Header area add this:

<div id="google_translate_element"></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>

In the above code configuration posted by Scott , all supported target languages are offered in the dropdown, but you could add an additional includedLanguages option to prune the list down

includedLanguages: 'en,it,fr,ru,tr'

Translation will be a built-in feature in the V6 platform once it has been released (no date yet specified).

Could you elaborate on exactly where you are trying to add an image on the threads?

Adding to what Chris posted above, here are the areas you can manually change your forum to a different language:

• You can edit the forum banner title at Admin > Settings > Forum Settings (Forum Title field).
• You can edit the the navigation menu at Admin > Settings > Forum Settings, Navigation tab.
• You can edit the category and board names at Admin > Structure > Categories & Boards.
• You can scour the Layout Templates for text to change at Admin > Structure > Layout Templates.
• This plugin will help change the text of various elements on the forum: Easy Text Switcher


Please note that plugins and template changes do not affect the mobile version, so users accessing the forum with a mobile device will not see the changes.
