[HowTo] More languages for your Vanilla*

DogHam

Hello there

First sorry for my poor english.

I was surfing in internet when I saw a webpage with URL like this:

www.example.com/de/index.php

For example:

www.example.com is english

www.example.com/de/ is german

www.example.com/cn/ is chinese

www.example.com/fr/ is french

etc.

I asked me if this is working for vanilla too.

The answer is: YES

I don't know if you allready know how it's woking but i didn't found nothing about this.

How to do it:

!!!FIRST MAKE SURE YOU MADE A BACKUP OF YOUR MYSQL AND FTP!!!

Make a folder on your server. For me it was ../board/de/

Upload the same version of vanilla what you are using in your main forum.
It should be NOT INSTALLED!

Install vanilla in a new Mysql database.

Ok now coming to the dificult part. Open your FTP backup and upload following folders:

applications
conf
library
locales
plugins
themes
uploads

Upload your locale files.

If you want the german language:

unzip the locale
upload the folder "german" to "www/de/locales"
go to "www/de/applications/dashboard/locale"
create a new folder called "de-DE"
upload the "definitions.php" file
Go to your dashboard, enable the locale and set language to de-DE.

It should work.

you can visit my forum to look how it's woking:
