Why is it that the board doesn't support other languages than English anymore?

Did it used to? I don't recall seeing that.

When I did all the maintenance on the site, I downloaded everything that was on cgfiles.com. If there had been support for multi-languages, there would have been subfolders for each language-pack installed. There's only English though. Are you sure it used to work?

I'm absolutely sure that it worked before in multi-language, for I had the board set to German (in the profile), and it did work very well, in German of course.

Hmmm... curious. What style are you using? Chronicles or SubSilver? I know for definite that Chronicles only has English support.

I performed a test install of phpBB on my machine at home and the default installation does not include multi language support. Perhaps you've used the feature on another board that has installed language packs? I'm pretty certain Cows forums never had multi-language support.

Having said that, I can install some of the language packs if you or others would like them? Note that this will only be for the subSilver template; Chronicles template is English only for now until it's author updates it.

Believe me, I only ever used Chronicles, and it was not on another board, and it did work in German. It is however not important, I've been just wondering.

But that's quite easy to install so where is the problem?
