That feature is enabled and may be set during registration or in the Control Panel.

At present, the only language pack available is for US English. I'd like to get German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, and Finnish installed to help our users from other countries choose their own language. If I missed your language, please let me know and I'll see if I can find it.

If you'd like to help translate a language pack into your own language, please email me! It will probably take about an hour to do so. The file looks like something like this:

dictLanguage.add "GLOBAL-QUOTETEXT", "Random quote"
dictLanguage.add "GLOBAL-YES", "Yes"
dictLanguage.add "GLOBAL-NO", "No"
dictLanguage.add "GLOBAL-ANONYMOUS", "Anonymous"
dictLanguage.add "GLOBAL-STICKY", "Sticky"
dictLanguage.add "GLOBAL-POLL", "Poll"
dictLanguage.add "GLOBAL-CLOSED", "Frozen"
dictLanguage.add "GLOBAL-QUOTE1", "Added by:"

You only have to translate the last part of each line, but there are about 5 pages of lines to transalate. If desired, I can also upload this language pack to the MegaBBS Main Forum so that others can benefit from your help!
