Is there a way to translate your site into another language?


I was wondering whether there was a way to translate your site's content automatically.

Is there such a mod/program/thing out there?

Yes you download and install language packs. They change the language.

Does this make it so that only that particular language is displayed on the site? Or, is there a dropdown? How does that work?

I was researching the possibility of translating to 'Spanish' on the site.

I think there would be a drawback with this though. Say someone changes the language and then makes a post in his language, the translation could come back something funky. And then its like broken english. I think if you want to make multi languages do like everyone else does, just add forums for those languages.

I knew somebody who tried the automatic translation thing but it was really slow and not very accurate, he ended up scrapping it. A Spanish forum sounds like a better idea.

i guess 1 section would be ok, idk, to me, IMO, i wouldn't like it, idk why i just couldn't see how it would really help the community having other speaking people cordoned off in 1 section.

Sounds like segregation to me. separate drinking fountains, separate seating on the bus, separate sections of the forum....

but seriously, wouldn't you have to hire staff that could moderate that section if you could not speak the language?
