I'm using v 1.21.2.105 2008/12/28 (according to the first line in the module) with Drupal 6.8. The version #s in the pull-down menu above don't make sense to me.

I have entered translations for all my forum names via the translate interface but when I switch languages the forum names still display in the default langauge. Is this supposed to work? I looked through the advanced_forum.module code and it looks to me like maybe support for translated forum names is not implemented. Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the great module and any help you can give me on this issue.

As far as I can tell, it's by design. I traced through the forum code and it looks like all they do is run a security check on the name.

Ah--so are you saying the problem is in the core forum code and not in advanced forum?

Thanks,

Yes, that's part of core forum. I went digging through the code a bit because I was curious and it seems all it does is run it through check_plain. If it's meant to be translated, I don't see it. They probably assumed you'd put the forum names in your language to begin with. I don't know a lot about the translation system, but I thought user entered text generally wasn't run through t().

Michelle,

Forum titles are saved as a taxonomy terms so (if I understand this correctly) I think I should be able to choose the "Localize terms. Terms are common for all languages, but their name and description may be localized." option and then I should be able to enter a translation for each term via the translate interface. Then, when I view my site in various languages the forum titles should show up in the proper language. I know this works at least partially because the forum titles show up in the translate interface and I am able to enter translations for them. Support for localized terms must not have been added into the forum module yet (although it seems like it should be since it's part of core).

Thanks for looking into it!

You're way beyond what I know. I've never done a site in anything but English. Sounds like it might be an issue worth filing against core forum, though.

Did someone posted an issue about this in core forum? This problem is really annoying. I can't get why it is not fixed, it is so basic thing...

This issue was closed 2 years ago so, no, no news and there won't be. This has nothing to do with AF.
