Re: Different languages for different users
You can set a cookie and make it semi-permanent.
Because there is also a filter in that function, you do not need to hack the core.
$locale = apply_filters('locale', $locale);
You would make a mini-plugin something like this
add_filter('locale', 'language_switcher');
function language_switcher($locale) {
if (!empty($_REQUEST['lang'])) {$locale=substr(strip_tags(stripslashes($_REQUEST['lang'])),0,30);}
return $locale;
}
You still have to write the code to make some kind of pulldown/menu to select the language and set the cookie.
There is a language switcher for wordpress that could be ported to bbPress, I think there was some talk about it around here and someone else made their own too.
Oh here it is:
