I think I’ll update these files soon, will post them up.
Hope you enjoy!
Since the SVN only has a dozen languages in there, I’ve built a list of over 50 languages I have found over the years that bbPress internals have been translated into.

Some are more complete than others (people made a half hearted attempt and gave up, ie. on the backend). But some languages are hard to find so it’s handy to have a starting place and then you can fix them up with poedit.
Hola,
1. Plugins: Bozo users + Delete all bozos + Akismet + Skip Akismet (for admins and moderators) + Human test
2. bbPress is going to be in glotpress soon (I hope), meanwhile you can download the translation on your language made by the community
3. You can restrict access to bots with a robots.txt too
4. I recommend bbpress because is great for SEO, simple to use and friendly with your hosting needs (very light). It comes with some lacks yet (you cannot move a post from one forum to another) but it have a great future, much more when it will come as a wp plugin
¡Saludos!
1. Spammers – use Human Test to prevent them from registering the first time around. I can’t recommend Akismet because of the false positives and the fact that it doesn’t block all spammers.
2. Translation – not sure what to tell you. Translation takes time.
3. What needs to be managed with search engine traffic? If you have an XML sitemap, the search engines will follow it. If not, they follow links, unless you don’t want them to.
4. I don’t recommend anything other than bbPress, but only because I have never used anything else. The versions available now are standalone and in the future bbPress will be a WordPress plugin.
You should definitely host this file somewhere to help others.
Try mediafire.com or similar, getting SVN access is difficult now.
Hi everyone!
Ive been playing with some forum software/scripts and i would like to ask the bbpress/wordpress coummunity some questions/opinions on this.
I’ve tested bbpress and so far i can see its a very lightweight forum system, it integrates nicely with wordpress, it doesnt have many functions the competition has but in my opinion most of them are really not needed and make the forum heavy on server resources.
Having said this here’s the questions?
1- Spammers – How’s the protection/management on this, is there a way of bulk deleting spammers or keeping them “at bay”?
2- Translation – i’ve been trying to translate bbpress but the info on how to do it is mostly wordpress as the process is very similar…so i looked in to online translation tools but none of them have bbpress as a project…not even Glotpress itself…i know there are desktop tools but for example i tried poedit and i only want to translate what the user sees not the admin panel, but it seems i have to copy every line to the translated section…there isnt a method to copy all strings and then edit the ones i want, i would take me a while doing it one by one and my professional life doesnt allow me, im sure more are interested in this and adding bbpress to glotpress would be a good idea as “everyone” could “chip in”.
3- search engines – some of the traffic to forums are made by search engines but unlike the competition bbpress doesnt have a method to manage them, the last forum script i tried was mybb and it has a whole section dedicated to bots and their permissions. Can this be overcomed in bbpress with a simple sitemap? the way i see it a sitemap only has urls not the content… if i keep the forum readble to everyone will the sitemap be enough, the way i see it the bot finds the url in the sitemap and then crawls the pages for content, i think this is enough.
4- Besides bbpress what other forum scripts would you recommend, personnaly mybb and fluxbb caught my eye and seem very lightweight, also i noticed the wp-foum pluggin as been forked into the WP Forum Server, one of the things i like on a forum is the ability to have a name based permalink like wordpress and bbpress, i find this feature very usefull as people can see by the words on the url (hovering mouse above link) what the link is about.
I know its a lot of questions but any info even if little is apreciated.
Thanks
Hi OP,
Have you figured out how to submit new languages? I can’t wait to see the Traditional Chinese translation!
Great job. Hopefully this will become available to everyone!
I believe this could be achieve but would like to know how i could do this.
Similar to the Support Forum plugin, I would like to be able to allow users to display before the topic title, the type of topic it is, for example, whether the forum topic is a translation of a magazine article. So in theory, the forum topics would display [translation] title of topic.
I’ve tried using the newest Support Forums (0.1.1) plugin but that would not display the text, it does display the icons though. I’ve used the Support Forum (3.0.6) and that displayed both the text and the icons. However, I would also like to be able to include more prefixes rather than the standard 3 that the Support Forum plugin does.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance
This is my first try to translation.
Have tested on my own install of bbPress for couple times.
How do I submit it to the bbPress?(Can I?)
Sincerely.
Still the same: “Tags (comma seperated)” on pages where you Add New Topic or comment on a post.
Just finishing translation into czech. In .POT translation file is “Tags (comma separated)”. So translation is not applied.
The site will be in dutch and every string that’s not translated will be shown in english.
If the plugin developer did include a dutch translation then it will be automatically translated following you bb-config setting or just revert to english.
Keep in mind that you must download a dutch language file (.mo) and place it in the /my-languages/ folder in order to have your translation.
If the plugin doesn’t export a dutch .mo file then you can translate it using the plugin .pot file. If the plugin doesn’t export a pot site well you can’t do anything apart asking the author.
I know in WP there is a “Translate Page” plugin, but s there one specifically for bbpress?
Thanks In Advance!

Every string is that is shown on the screen is parsed for translation (talking about bbPress). If you want custom strings, it would be the same process as you create a translation for any other language. For eg. I could have “voices” as “participants”, “favorites” as “likes” etc.
would you mind sharing the forum theme?
Hi Anthony,
Yes I made it using jQuery , but I took it offline because the forum was not a succes. It was inspired by my website http://er-was-eens.net
Did you make that forum theme yourself Robine? Was searching for it all over the internet but can’t seem to find it
I see the file has been downloaded a couple of times, does it work for you?
I have a similar question. I’m finding that the translations to my language (spanish) are quite poor, and it seems most of the plugins are pre-version 1, so I’m missing a lot of functionality (like user avatar, which should be there from the start!!!).
So I wonder, besides sharing users (which is not a big benefit for my implementation), is there any other reason why bbpress + wordpress is a better option than any forum software + wordpress???
I had the same problem with spanish translation, which is quite incomplete. This did the trick! Thanks!
Hi Xevo,
Yes, offcourse you can, for everybody here is the link to download:

Would appreciate it Robine.
I can have a look at the translation if you want. 
Thanks, it is still in progress. No members yet. There is a disclaimer, though. I did not make a Nl_nl file or something. But, everything is translated, except for the “manager”. I also translated it, but I must have made a mistake somewhere because I got an error. So you will have a Dutch site/forum with an English “manager”. Is this ok?
