   Hi,

   am trying to use your language switcher, http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-language-switcher/, (which is a GREAT help to me since I am the administrator of a Thai forum but do not speak Thai), but for some reason I cannot select the English Language.

   I have installed Thai and German and both can be selected and both work, but the English language is dark Grey and when selected it just refreshes the screen and the page is displayed in the default Thai language.

   Any ideas why that is and how to correct it? I was thinking of adding the English mo/po files, but cannot seem to find them...

   Thanks,
   Paul

   p.s. I know the plugin is Compatible up to: 1.0 alpha 5, but I have tried it with alpha 6 and it still works for languages other than English.

   English is the default language so there are no mo/po files for it.

   The dark grey background is my fault as it's the color I made it on purpose so it would stand out. But it should still be selectable. Actually it should be a yellowish grey.

   It works here which is really strange, or can you make it do the same problem here?

   It looks like you are using Firefox, correct?

   It would help if I could see the problem in action on your site, but I don't see the switcher active right now on your forum.

   Hi,

   it is active on my site, but since I am the only visitor/admin who doesn't speak Thai, nobody needs to see it but me, so I only put it in the admin area.

   Yeah, after a while I figured that, about the English mo/po files. But just to be sure I created one for English with a few English words in the admin area, but that also didn't help.

   Yes, I am using FF, but I also tried IE and it doesn't work in that either.

   I have put it also in the normal footer so you can see it.

   Thanks for looking into it!

   Paul

   It might be a bug with english being the first item, I will investigate.

   hmm actually it seems to be a bug with the default language of the system, I will have to find a workaround

   Could you please try 0.0.5 when you see it on bbPress.org

   You may need to "rebuild" the language defaults via
   ?bb_language_switcher_update
   on your url

   You are the best! :D:D

   It is working like a charm now, there are 2 options for English and the second one with White background works exactly the way it should.

   Thanks again, you really helped me out a LOT with this plugin!

   There should not be two options for English, did you try rebuilding your list?

   I deactivated/reactivated the plugin a few times, I do not know after which URL I had to paste it...

   I have added the plugin in the normal footer again so you can look if you want.

   My BB_language_Switcher doesnt work correctly.
   I followed the Installation Steps as:

   Place dropdown anywhere you'd like in templates via: <?php do_action('bb_language_switcher',''); ?>

   If you do not already have an alternate language set, you MUST change in your bb-config.php : define('BB_LANG', ' '); note the space between the quotes

   bbpress 0.9 - put any .mo language files into bb-includes/languages/

   bbPress 1.0 - put any .mo language files into my-languages/

   Copy bb-language-switcher/ directory to my-plugins/ and activate plugin

   To rebuild the list of languages, either deactivate/reactivate the plugin or add to your URL ?bb_language_switcher_update

   But it doesnt work for my website.

   My website is http://forum.wlz0072.co.cc/
   Could you pls help me to fix it?

   Best Regards,
   Li Zhun Wang

    I think in your case you want zh_CN to be the default.

    so in bb-config.php you might want
    

    define('BB_LANG', 'zh_CN');

    Note that the switcher only changes text in the template, it does not translate the full text of the forum (ie. posts).
