Board languages

I've just noticed there is an option to choose your board language here in PlanetZ (edit your preferences). There is a range of languages starting with Bulgarian and at the end there is big5 Chinese. I noticed Polish language is missing in this list while there are at least 3 Polish users here. I can try to translate it if you wish, John. Of course if it's any automated and you just put a database in the server then. I mean that I can do it if it will not give you much work

I'm curious if people are using this feature? I've never really tested it.

It basically localizes much of the forum's administrative text into the selected language-- things like the labels on the checkboxes, the words like "message body" and "options", etc. It obviously does NOT translate people's posts and topic text

If you'd like to do a translation into Polish, I could send you the language file.

I don't use it. Had not seen it (or Danish is not there?). I don't remember seeing it though. I am fine with the English layout.

Wojtek, seems nice idea at first
but what use statistic polish user would have of polish layout of forum
if all the content would be still in english?

true as a rock

I never tried 'nederlands', but now I did.
Strange, not everything got translated, like 'back to the planet z pulsar pages'.
Also, all name words are written in capitals, which is usual at least in German, but not in Dutch.
It even confuses me, to read those standard messages in dutch.
I have to translate them in english to really get the meaning, haha

That's the good point of it. The same goal you can reach by choosing your PlanetZ skin

BTW - 'Rura' in Polish is 'a pipe' but we also use this term for calling not too cute women, hehe
