As an experiment, I have added the Google auto-translate feature to the forum.

To use, select your desired language from the "Select Language" menu right near the bottom of any forum page (just above the graphic for "AnyBrowser").

The page will then translate into your selected language, and any pages *directly clicked on* will also translate.

I'm not sure how useful it is, and how good a job it does (and whether it will translate scripts into complete nonsense), but if English is not your first language you may find it helpful.

Please post messages in the MUSHclient -> General part of the forum describing your reaction to this feature.

Please note that English is requested as the language for making posts, as the translation is from English, and many people here will only be able offer support for questions put in English.

After reading up on the Google Translate feature a bit more, I have changed the [code] tag so that it will not translate text inside that.

That way, example triggers (etc.) and scripts will be rendered as in the original, so they should still work.

Automated Google Translate feature removed due to privacy concerns. If necessary you can use Google Translate to translate pages on a page-by-page basis.
