Tie vBET into vBulletin language system

[tavenger5]

It would be nice to hook together the built in vBulletin language system with vBET. This way there is more control over the phrase translations, some things don't have to be run through Google to be translated, and more human translations will exist and be more accurate.

So for example, if a user selects the Spanish language, all posts and other text are run through vBET and all other phrases, if they exist, are handled by the Spanish vBulletin language pack.

This is great proposition We also already thought about it - just vBET 4.x consumes most of time right now. But we will release next vBET 4.x soon and go back to full support of booth vBET 3.x and 4.x lines. We where already thinking about it and we have even possible solution (not tested). This solution is to change value of vB parameter holding language code for translated pages. This will make vB taking already translated phrases. One issue - we will have to change all phrases from other lanuages than forum language and put it inside of not translated area. And this should be done inside of Database. So this is theoretical solution. Which is on our TODO list

Curious if this was still on the TODO list?

Yes it is Please note that we had more important issues after Google decided that soon it will be paid. Now it is solved - we support also Microsoft translations and will be more if it will be required. Still we have to add it also to vBET 3.x version (now only 4.x supports Microsoft translation). So this has the biggest priority at this moment. All other features will be planned after this. But be calm - we will do it sooner or later - I know that sooner will be better than later
