Hi, I would like to change the Permalinks to German. I can change the rewrite_rules in /bb-admin/rewrite_rules.php

Code:

Options -MultiViews

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>

RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^forum/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?> [R=302,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^topic/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?> [R=302,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>tags.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^profile/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>profile.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^view/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>rss.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/topics/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>rss.php?topics=1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([^/]+)/topics/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>rss.php?forum=$1&topics=1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^rss/view/([^/]+)/?$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>rss.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ <?php bb_option( ‘path’ ); ?>index.php [L]
</IfModule>

bute where, in which files can I change the links? Is there a central function generating the links.

e.g. old: http://www.forum.com/forum/topic/post-name

new: http://www.forum.com/forum/thema/postname

Thank you so much! dom

Any news on this? I would love to see translated URLs.

[@thion Member 15 years, 6 months ago]

Things like “tags” or “topic” can be translated directly within .htaccess file, as for the “post-name” – I think there’s no way to manipulate this yet, it is being sanitized deeply within bbPress core.

[@gquann Member 15 years, 6 months ago]

But how do I change the corresponding links? If I just translate “topic” in the htaccess, bbpress will understand the translated urls but still generate links with the original “topic”, wouldn’t it?

[@bobbyh Member 15 years, 6 months ago]

To change the corresponding links, you need to edit the functions in /bb-includes/template-functions.php. For instance, you’d change function get_forum_link and get_topic_link so they point to thema (instead of topic) and the German word for forum (instead of forum). This requires a core hack.
